I Guess I'll Have to Cry, Cry, Cry

About I Guess I'll Have to Cry, Cry, Cry

"I Guess I'll Have to Cry, Cry, Cry" is a song written and performed by James Brown. Released as a single in 1968, it charted #15 R&B and #55 Pop. The Wailers recorded a reggae version of the song under the title "My Cup" on their 1970 album Soul Rebels. This song is noted as the last single by Brown to give label credit to his vocal group, The Famous Flames. Although they technically stopped singing on Brown's singles in 1964, The Flames, Bobby Byrd, Bobby Bennett, and Lloyd Stallworth, were still together, touring as a live performance group with Brown, and Byrd continued to sing on record with him. In 1968, however, The Flames all left Brown, citing monetary differences, and although Byrd returned 18 months later, the other members never returned, and all of Brown's King Records singles from this point on, starting with Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud, gave him sole label credit. more »

My cup is running over
I don't know what to do
My cup is running over
I don't know what to do
No, I don't know
No, I don't know

[Chorus]
Guess I gotta cry, cry, cry
People, let me cry, cry, cry
I'd feel a little bit better
If I cry, cry, cry

My cup is overflowing
I don't know what to do
My cup is overflowing
I don't know what to do
No, I don't know
No, I don't know

[Chorus]

When I, I lost you
I lost the best thing I ever had
Now that I, I realize, oh
It makes me, it makes me
It makes me so bad

My cup is running over
I don't know what to do
My cup is running over
I don't know what to do
No, I don't know
No, I don't know

[Chorus]

Just let me cry, people
How do you feel
How do you feel
When you see a man cry

People, let me cry
I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed
Guess I gotta walk away now
Just let me walk away
Just let me walk away
Just let me walk away
