Cryin' For Nothin'

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