"96 Tears" lyrics - THE MODERN LOVERS
[Spoken introduction:]
This is one that we didn't write, and you'll remember it. I say: 1, 2, 3, 4!
Too many teardrops for one heart
To be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart
To carry on
Been way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get him
And we'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
You'll start cryin'
In the sunshine
Ninety-six tears
Hey, cry
Cry
And be 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
Lookin' up
And I might wave
To come up here
I look for you
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
So I don't now
I'll just cry
I'll just cry
I'll just cry
Too many teardrops for one heart
To be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart
To carry on
Well now
You're gonna shout it from the top, girl
I'll hear it from the bottom
You'll shout it from the album
And work out all night
I say, 96
And I say, night and day
I say, rock and roll, baby
Eh, move on out
I say, 96 tears
Let's take a three-year letter
I say, 1-2, 96, 1-2!
