The Supremes Tears Left Over song lyrics

(N. Ashford/L. Caston)

"Hello, hello", I say with a great big smile

Fingers crossed behind my back all the while

Just when I made you think I'm glad, oh, so glad to be free

Here they come to show the world the real side of me

I can feel the tears left over from last night

Comes back the sun each day

But the memories of our love

They don't wash away

Ooh, look out

Ohh, here they come now

When you passed me by, oh baby (oo-oo)

Oh Lord, don't let him know that I've been suffering

Try to laugh, ha-ha, and talk about everyday things

Oh, but suddenly a rush comes over me

Honey, here they come rolling down my face

For the world to see

I can feel the tears left over from last night

Comes back the sun each day

But the memories of our love

They don't wash away (ooo, ooo)

Ooh, here they come now

When you passed me by

Oh, I'm gonna get back to my baby

Ooo, ooo (ooo, ooo)

Yeah (yeah, yeah)

(Ooo, ooo)

Hey, ain't no use in building a well without you

(Ain't no use)

'Cause there's a leak in the building

Where my tears keep coming through

I can feel the tears left over from last night

Comes back the sun each day

But the memories of our love

They don't wash away

[repeat til fade]
