Didn't You Know (you'd Have To Cry Sometime)

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)

Remember when you left?
You had your own rules about playing the game
And any day, you could walk away feeling no pain

Now look at yourself
You're all hung up on somebody else
And in your eyes i see all the signs of the misery
That you laid on me

Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?

You used to be so proud
Now, your head's a little lower
And you walk slower
And you don't talk so loud

You've gotten wise
You know how love can build you up one moment
And the next, cut you down to size
Then you discover
All she told you was a bunch of lies

Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?

Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
