Verse
Sometimes happily ever ain?t always ever after
You promised me forever then you ran off with a dancer
Now it?s good to see you back here
But I?m on to greener pastures
And if you gotta cry, cry softly
Cry softly, real quietly
Your tears are unsightly
There?s the front door, Bang softly
If you gotta cry, cry softly
Verse
This ain?t the first time that you left me
Remember Reno, Taos and Tempe
Remember Carlsbad, El Paso and that second time in Tempe
Yeah you?ve pulled a lot of fast ones
But this last one is your last one
And if you?ve gotta cry, cry softly
Cry softly, real quietly
Your tears are unsightly
There?s the front door, Bang softly
If you gotta cry, cry softly
Break
Verse
I admit since you?ve been gone
I?ve done my share of moving on
There?s been a lot of warm embracing
Vodka chasing vodka blondes
Oh I gotta work all week
And I need to get some sleep
And if you gotta cry, cry softly
Cry softly, real quietly
Your tears are unsightly
There?s the front door, Bang softly
And if you gotta cry, cry
If you gotta cry, cry
If you gotta cry, cry softly
