Lyric A Simple Thing Like Cry

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

If it didn t hurt so bad
If it didn t hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry

If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry

If it didn t hurt so bad
If it didn t hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry

Don t you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now you re trying to tell me
That my dreams just won t come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry

If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry

If it didn t hurt so bad
If it didn t hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didn t hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didn t hurt me
If I didn t love you
Hurt me
