Cry Cry Again

I put my little girl to bed with teardrops in her eyes

All day I’ve tried to comfort her and louder were her cries

I left her there to say her prayers and stepped outside the door

The prayer I heard was one I knew I’d never heard before

Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home

Sometimes I cry and get my way and mommy’s so alone

She told me once that when I’m right I never should give in

So if at first I don’t succeed I’ll cry and cry again

I know our little girl is right and we’re both in the wrong

And so I’ve called you up tonight to ask you please come home

I can’t go on or stand for long the way she cries today

And I can’t go to sleep tonight because I heard her pray

Please have my mommy ask my daddy to come home

Sometimes I cry and get my way and mommy’s so alone

She told me once that when I’m right I never should give in

So if at first I don’t succeed I’ll cry and cry again
