Let Her Cry Lyrics

Let Her Cry

 Hootie & the Blowfish

 

 She sits alone by the lamppost

 Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

 She says "Dad's the one I love the most

 But Stipe's not far behind,"

 

 She never lets me in

 Only tells me where she's been

 When she's had too much to drink

 I say that I don't care

 I just run my hand through her dark hair

 Then I pray to God

 "You gotta help me fly away."

 

 And just

 

 1-Let her cry

 If the tears fall down like rain

 Let her sing

 If it eases all her pain

 Let her go

 Let her walk right out on me

 And if the sun comes up tomorrow

 Let her be

 Let her be

 

 This morning I woke up alone

 Found a note standing by the phone

 Saying "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"

 I wanted to look for you

 You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do

 So I sat back down and had a beer

 and felt sorry for myself saying

 (rpt 1)

 

 Last night I tried to leave

 Cried so much I could not believe

 She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

 She went in the back to get high

 I sat down on my couch and cried, yelling

 "Oh, mama, please help me!"

 Won't you hold my hand and (repeat 1)
