In Between Tears Songtext
von Irma Thomas

I love you for what you were, wrong or right
To win your heart and soul, I was prepared to fight (day and night)
Maybe my love for you was just a little too weak
To unlock the pain in your heart that you keep

But how can you throw away the happy times we′ve shared for years
Just because the things a woman might say
Just because the things a woman might say
In between tears

Why do you render me powerless to reveal
All the love I had for you, and that I feel?
I always thought that you were so extraordinary
Gave you the love the boys would call out of the ordinary


So how can you throw away the happy times we've shared for years
Just because the things a woman might say
The things, the things a woman might say
In between tears

I gave you all the love I possess
Gave my mind, devotion, and tenderness
And just because of a little love and spite
You walked out on me, now you know that wasn′t right
If you would only come back and have a little conversation
I know this time we could have a lasting relation
Yes, it's hurting when you're quarreling and breaking up
Ooh, the pain is so good when you start to make it up

So how could you throw away the happy times we′ve shared for years
Just because the thing a woman might say
The things that woman might say
In between tears

In between tears, oh yes, they
They see ′em in between their tears
In between tears
