Barrett Strong — I'm Gonna Cry (If You Quit Me) lyrics

Lyrics

Well all my life I’ve been real strong
I aint never been heard when things go wrong
I’m hard as arock and I’m just as tough
I don’t play and I don’t bluff
but I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyyyyy
I’m gonna cryyyyyyyy
I’m gonna cryyyyyyyy if you quit me yeah baby if you quit me woah baby if you quit me
I’ve succeeded in all ive tried
when trouble comes I never hide
I can run through the jungle
kill a lion with a switch
everybody knows Imma bad as I can be but I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyyyy baby
I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyyyy
I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyyy if you quit me oh baby if you quit me woah baby if you quit me Weeeeeeelll I’ll fight a bear in the forest
a shark in the sea
a tiger in a cage and a ape in a tree
get in the ring with Patterson and I won’t run
i used to beat up the cops just for fun
but I’m gonna cryyyyyyyy baby
I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyy baby
I’m gonna cryyyyyyyyyyy iffa you quit me oh baby if you quit me ooooh honey so don’t you quit me I may I may be rough
and I may I may be tough
oooh and Iiiiiiiiii’m gonna cryyyyyy
if you quit meeeeeeee

if you quit meeeee
