Lyrics to 96 Tears (Live In Rotterdam) :
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
96 tears
Cry
Cry
And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be right down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
Come up here
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
I'm way down here
Wonderin' how
I'm gonna get you
But I know now
I'll just cry, cry
I'll just cry
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're gonna cry
96 tears
You're gonna cry
96 tears
You're gonna cry cry
Cry, cry now
You're gonna cry cry
Cry, cry
96 tears
C'mon and lemme hear you cry, now
96 tears
I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
96 tears, cry, cry, cry
C'mon baby, let me hear you cry now
All night long
96 tears
Yeah, c'mon now
96 tears
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
96 tears
Cry
Cry
And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be right down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
Come up here
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
I'm way down here
Wonderin' how
I'm gonna get you
But I know now
I'll just cry, cry
I'll just cry
Too many teardrops
For one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops
For one heart to carry on
You're gonna cry
96 tears
You're gonna cry
96 tears
You're gonna cry cry
Cry, cry now
You're gonna cry cry
Cry, cry
96 tears
C'mon and lemme hear you cry, now
96 tears
I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
96 tears, cry, cry, cry
C'mon baby, let me hear you cry now
All night long
96 tears
Yeah, c'mon now
96 tears
