It brings a tear into my eyes, 
When I begin to realize I've cried so much 
Since you've been gone, 
I guess I'll drowning in my own tears. 

I sit and cry just like a child, 
My pourin' tears are runnin' wild. 
If you don't think you'll be home soon, 
I guess I'll drown, oh yes, in my own tears. 

I know it's true into each life, 
Oh some rain, rain must pour 
I'm so blue here without you 
It keeps raining more and more. 

Why can't you come on home 
Oh yes so I won't be all alone.
If you don't think you'll be home soon 
I guess I'll (drown in my own tears)

Ooh, don't let me (drown in my own tears) 
When I'm in trouble, baby (drown in my own tears) 
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me (drown in my own tears) 
I guess I'll drown in my own tears, oh, (mmmmm).
