Lyrics

[this is one that we didn't write and you'll remember it]

I say one two three four

Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying'
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
Been way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughing'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get here
And we'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
You'll start crying', in the sunshine
Ninety-six tears
Hey
Cry
Cry and feel terrible
And cry and feel terrible
And cry
Uh huh and cry
Uh huh

And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be down here
Looking' up
And I might laugh
To come up here
I look for you
But I don't see you
Waving' there
So I go now
I just cry
I just cry
I just cry

Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying'
Too many teardrops for one heart
To carry on
Well all right
You're gonna shout it from the top floor
I hear it from the bottom
You'll shout it from the ???
Without all that
I say 96 tears
I say 96 tears
I say rock and roll baby and move on out
I say 96 tears
It's taken three years
I say one two 96 one two
