One Tear Songtext
von Eddie Kendricks

Oh, oh, oh

I wake up early every morning
With just one tear in my eye
I remember late one evening
My sweet baby said goodbye to me
Oh, yes, she did
I cried so hard when she left me
I just rolled up in a great big ball
All the life drained from my body
But that one tear, oh
That one tear just wouldn′t fall


I've tried to forget her
But this one tear won′t set me free
(Tear won't set me free)
I didn't know ′til she went away
Just how much that woman meant to me
Ooh, yes, she did
(Hey, hey, yeah, hey, hey, yeah, ooh)
Without her, my life is nothing
Even though she let me down
If my baby don′t come home to me
Then this one tear, oh
Then this one tear I'm gonna dry

Oh, oh, hey
(Hey, hey)
Hey, hey
(Hey, hey)
Oh, hey, yeah
(Hey, hey)
Hey
(Hey, hey)
Oh, oh, oh
(Hey, hey)

Oh

Every night I, I say a prayer
And I whisper something low
I′ve got to get my baby back
So this one tear, oh, hey
(One tear)
So this one tear will let me go

(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)


Baby, stop my crying
I, I, I've been slowly dying
One tear leaving me
One tear grieving
Look, my baby, stop my crying
I, I, I′ve been slowly dying
One tear leaving me
One tear grieving
