Lyrics

ONE TEAR AT A TIME

So you think this is easy?
I think you misunderstood
This is gonna hurt so bad, so good.

VERSE:
Baby when you left, I thought I'd stop breathing,
Got over that, I wanna get even.
If there's justice in the universe,
Now it's your turn to hurt.

CHORUS:
You're gonna cry, one tear at a time,
Like you made me cry, one tear at a time,
For you baby.
Slowly, painfully,
You'll pay for every mean thing you did to me.
Pay me one tear at a time, one tear at a time,
One tear at a time.

VERSE:
She's a speeding car, the danger attracts you.
You wrecked my heart, and you're gonna crash too.
When she's bored, you'll get what you deserve,
She'll kick you right to the curb.
(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
Don't try to wash it all away, baby take it slow.
Baby, not so fast, baby take it slow.
Cry a little every day, baby don't you know,
You got to make a good thing last--
(REPEAT CHORUS)

LAST CHORUS:
You're gonna cry one tear at a time, now baby
Give it to me one tear at a time.
Now you know what it feels like, baby
Take it slow, one tear at a time.
Pay me one tear at a time, one tear at a time,
One tear at a time.
