Lyrics

VERSE
I don’t know which is worse
The weepin’ or the wailin’
The reason, you see, is the next line in this verse
It’s pretty clear your love was failin’

PRE-CHORUS
Either way, I’m feelin’ way low down

CHORUS
(Oh) (But for now) I’m a weepin’ and a wailin’
Ever since you left me, baby, I’ve been ailin’
I guess I’ll just sit here on the curb and drink this beer
And keep right on a weepin’ and a wailin’

VERSE
You said grown men don’t cry
And they sure don’t bellow out loud
But every man I know would cry if you said goodbye
Yes, I know I’m attracting a crowd

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/VERSE
I’d stop weepin’ and a wailin’
If you’d just come back to me
I’d buy you that great big boat; take you sailin’
You could do anything you please

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Come on back so I can stop this weepin’ and a wailin’
Oh, baby, come back right now…
