I Taught Her To Cry

{verse-1} That pretty lady you were holding tonight She used to be mine till I taught her to cry You know those kisses she gave you last night She learned that from me, I’m the other guy And do you like the way she holds you so tight Well that was me, I wasn’t very bright {verse-2} I had her giving all the love she could give She laughed, she loved, till I taught her to cry Guess I was wrong, the way I made her live Then she learned something else, from some other guy I’d just like to know, who taught her to lie ‘Cause when she did, I felt I could die {chorus} It was all me, who taught her those things Taught her to love, Taught her to cry Taught her to laugh, when she said good-bye Just can't believe I taught her to cry {verse-3} Then she taught me to hurt, then taught me to cry She taught me how, to just say good-bye I lost it all, that night of the fight Just can't believe, I taught her to cry It was all me who taught her so well Just can't believe, I taught her to cry Repeat Chorus: Written by: George Kenneth Martin Date: June 24, 2006
