I'll Cry If I Want To Lyrics - 1963

[ Buy I'll Cry If I Want To ]

(Edna Lewis/Beverly "Ruby" Ross)

'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Oh, when Judy left with Johnny at my party (my party)
And came back wearing his ring,
I sat down and cried my eyes out
Now, that was a foolish thing

'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Well, it hurt me so to see them dance together (together)
I felt like making a scene
Then, my tears just fell like raindrops
'Cause Judy's smile was so mean

But now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

Oh, one night, I saw them kissin' at a party (a party)
So, I kissed some other guy
Johnny jumped up and he hit him
'Cause he still loved me, that's why

So now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Yay, now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry
(fade out)
