Laverne Butler - Let Your Tears Hang Out Lyrics

LET YOUR TEARS HANG OUT

LYRICS: MARCIA HILLMAN

YOU NEVER LET ME KNOW THE WAY YOU'RE FEELING.
YOU BUTTON EVERYTHING UP TIGHT INSIDE.
YOU'RE HURTING AND I KNOW IT
BUT YOU'VE NO WAY TO SHOW IT.
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S NOTHING BUT YOUR PRIDE.
COME ON AND CRY, BABY
AND LET YOUR TEARS HANG OUT.

YOU'VE BUILT A LOT OF WALLS UP HIGH AROUND YOU.
I CAN'T BEGIN TO SEE JUST WHERE YOU LIVE.
IT ISN'T EASY CHANGING
OR EVEN REARRANGING,
BUT IF YOU DON'T, THEN SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE.
COME ON AND CRY, BABY
AND LET YOUR TEARS HANG OUT.

YOU'RE SO MUCH IN CONTROL,
DOWN TO YOUR VERY SOUL.
YOU NEVER LET WHAT BOTHERS YOU COME THROUGH.
AND YET YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE
WHENVER I DESPAIR.
WHY DON'T YOU LET ME DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

I'M WAITING HERE WITH ARMS THAT WANT TO HOLD YOU.
THERE'S NOTHING I WON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
IT ISN'T ANY TAKE DOWN
IF JUST FOR ONCE YOU'D BREAK DOWN.
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE ANY LESS A MAN.
SO COME ON AND CRY, BABY
AND LET YOUR TEARS HANG OUT.
