Cryin' For Nothin'

I am a full grown fool
And I shoulda known better
But I tried and
I triedAnd
I could not forget her
I would go back to her
Time after time
Man I must have been
Out of my mind
All of that cryin' for nothin'
All of that tryin' for nothin'
What has it ever got me
What has it ever taught me
I've got to keep believin'
In somethin' baby'
Stead of just tryin' for nothin
Cryin' for nothin' at all
Well we fought for love
And we fought for trust
And the whole blessed time
It was right there in front of us
We could not reach it
And I don't know why
It took so long
Just to say goodbye
All of that cryin' for nothin'
All of that tryin' for nothin'
What has it ever got me
What has it ever taught me
I've got to keep believin'
In somethin' baby'
Stead of just tryin' for nothin'
Cryin' for nothin' at all
Well her friends all told her
Mine told me
But we would not listen
Could not see
Me and my pride
Her and her dreams
We never ever stood
A chance it seems
All of that cryin' for nothin'
All of that tryin' for nothin'
What has it ever got me
What has it ever taught me
I've got to keep believin'
In somethin' baby'
Stead of just tryin' for nothin'
Cryin' for nothin' at all'
Stead of just tryin' for nothin'
Cryin' for nothin' at all
Cryin' for nothin'
