Oh, sweet daddy please come home Weary blues from waitin' Lord, I've been waitin' so long These blues have got me cryin' The snow falls 'round my window But it can't chill my heart Lord knows it died the day you left My dream world fell apart No, sweet

You can't hurt me now I got away from you, I never thought I would You can't make me cry, you once had the power I never felt so good about myself Oh Father you never wanted to live that way You never wanted to hurt me Why am I running away It's funny

No food on my table And no shoes to go on my feet Hard times, hard times Hard times seem like a jealous thing My children cry for mercy They got no place to call your own If someone don't help me And I just can't be around three months long No shoes on

Sister big stuff You're never gonna get my love You're never gonna make me cry Who do you think you are? Not because yo' wear All those fancy clothes Drive around a big fine car Oh yes, you do now Do you think I can't afford

Take me through this darkness Carry me through this world Insane and lost confusion Forever always pushing for more No, you can't cry Oh, you can't cry When you're too tough to die This grave which bares my soul This grave which bares my name

So wait up, wait up Give me one more chance To make up, make up I just need one last dance Na na na na oh-oh Tear drops in your hazel eyes I can't believe I made you cry It feels so long since we went wrong But you're still on my mind

You'll miss me till the day you die Oh, whoa, whoa You must be blind if you can't see I'm sick and tired of the mess you made me You left me all alone, alone, alone, alone Never gonna catch me cry oh, whoa, whoa Oh, whoa, whoa, you must be blind if you

Needed a friend Oh, starry eyes Oh, oh (repeat) When she laughs She's got the power of a child in her eyes And when you cry now She'll hold you like a man's supposed to be held I can't get into words how I feel Get it right in this song now

Oh darling I'm crazy after all these years Bitterblue, Bitterblue Breaking up is hard to do Bitterblue you know that I'm too Proud to cry I can't take my eyes off you And that's no way to say goodbye I'll take the train to nowhere This love is a sacrifice

That's the wrong thing to do You know it, oh ho, you know it Oh ho, you know it, we both know it So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
