You keep me cryin' all the time
I have to say that you
Keep me cryin' all the time

Well, I tried to play my music
But my music was too loud
Well, I pleased all the people
But I couldn't please the crowd

And I dropped down on my knees and said
Hey, mama won't you clear my head
Don't you know they
Keep me cryin' all the time
Someone will tell you that
They keep me cryin' all the time

Oh, Lord, don't you know they
They keep me moaning all the time
They keep me burning all the time

Well, I tried to run my business
But they said I can't
Just keep it to myself
Not bothering any man

Just as sure as I try
'Cause my tears in my eye
Don't you know that they
Keep me cryin' all the time
Something come over and
They keep me cryin' all the time
