Lyrics Bettye Lavette

Bettye Lavette

Your Turn To Cry (Your Time To Cry)

I gave you all of my love

But you treated me like a fool

I even gave up right for wrong

Trying, trying to get along with you

When I wanted to hold you close

You were always too tired or you had some place to go

Listen daddy

Walking out that door, telling you goodbye

I can't take it no more

It's your time to cry

Oh, it's your time to cry

Oh, I tried staying with you because of our kids

But you still wouldn't do right

You leave, oh, early in the morning

I wouldn't see you no more till late, late, late at night

Although I still love you I'm afraid this is the end

And I just can't afford to make that same mistake again

Listen daddy

Walking out that door, telling you goodbye

I can't take it no more, I can't take it no more

It's your time to cry

Oh, it's your time to cry

It's over, it's over, it's over
