SIT DOWN AND CRY (Valerie Smith)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: I'VE SEARCHED THE WORLD OVER
FOR SOMEONE TO CARE
THE FARTHER I GO
I DON'T GET ANYWHERE
WHEN I CAN'T HANDLE
THE WHEREFORS AND WHYS
I GO TO THE BACK PORCH
AND SIT DOWN AND CRY

CHORUS: SIT DOWN AND CRY
SIT DOWN AND CRY
SIT ON THE BACK PORCH AND CRY

VERSE 2: I'VE LISTENED TO REASON
FROM YOUNG AND FROM OLD
WORDS CANNOT MELT A HEART
FROZEN LIKE STONE
THE DAY I DON'T LOVE YOU
WILL BE WHEN I DIE
MEANWHILE I'LL SIT ON
THE BACK PORCH AND CRY

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: I'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT
A HUMAN CAN DO
AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING
YOU ASK ME TO
I'VE LOVED YOU, I'VE LOST YOU
I'VE TOLD YOU GOODBYE
NOW I'LL JUST GO SIT ON
THE BACK PORCH AND CRY
