Picking up the pieces up off the floor How was I to know there was gonna be a war Words of sorrow and words of spite Ringing in my head right through the night [Chorus] And don't you know it's a cry-yin' shame When you've got yourself to blame Don't you know it's a cry-yin' shame Woke up this morning, it's a raining again Starting to wonder if it's something I said Words of sorrow and words of spite Ringing in my head right through the night [Chorus] You've got yourself to blame Cry, cry, why, cry-why, cry-yin' shame Cry, cry, why, why, why, why, why, why Cry, cry, why, cry, why, crying shame Cry, cry, why, cry, why, why, crying shame Up all night with a conscience fight I just can't sleep so I put on the light The sheets are wet with anxiety sweat Mornings gonna come but it ain't here yet [Chorus] You've got yourself Don't you know it's a crying shame (it's a crying shame) When you've got yourself to blame (don't you know) Don't you know it's a crying shame You've got yourself to blame [Repeat: x5] I'm to blame, no, no, no, no, no No, no, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
