Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain. In the heart of the lonely man In and out of love more often where most others can He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers game He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same. Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain. In the eyes of the lonely one Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him. Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain.
