Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]:
I give you all of my body,
My heart, my soul, and my money.
I figured that you might be,
My one and only.
Rumors of cheating and lying,
Leaving me begging and crying,
Thirty-two days,
Not a word to say.
[Hook]:
Don't you know that,
I think I've had enough now?
Karma, karma,
It will pay you back.
Don't you think that,
You'll be missin' me?
If I go, where will I go?
[Chorus]:
Turn around,
It's my turn to let you down.
I love it, when you,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Turn around,
It's my turn to let you down.
You can drown in ninety-nine tears.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You're such a,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You're such a,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
You can drown in ninety-nine tears.
[Verse 2]:
Everyday you kept me waiting,
While you were only betraying.
Hoping that I never learned,
The games you were playing.
Now you wanna call me (call me),
Only cause you 're very lonely.
Baby look who's crying now,
You're the joke.
[Hook]:
Don't you know that,
I think I've had enough now?
Karma, karma,
It will pay you back.
Don't you think that,
You'll be missin' me?
If I go, where will I go?
[Chorus]:
Turn around,
It's my turn to let you down.
I love it, when you,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Turn around,
It's my turn to let you down.
You can drown in ninety-nine tears.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You're such a,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You're such a,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
You can drown in ninety-nine tears.
[Bridge]:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You ought to know,
How it feels to be me.
When your heart's on the floor,
And your dreams are all gone.
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream)
[Chorus]:
Turn around,
It's my turn to let you down.
I love it, when you,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Turn around,
It's my turn to let you down.
You can drown in ninety-nine tears.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You're such a,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby.
You're such a,
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
Cry baby, cry baby, cry.
You can drown in ninety-nine tears
