No matter what you say baby, no matter what you do
The way you've been treating me
Is coming back home to you
Your crying won't help you baby
No, your crying won't help you baby
No, your crying won't help you
'Cause you've been so mean to me

(Crying won't help you)

Well, you must remember baby, no matter where you go
Watch those seeds just scatter
And reap just what you sow
Your crying won't help you
No, your crying won't help you baby
No, your crying won't help you baby
You've been so mean to me

(Crying won't help you)

Well, the way you've been treating me
I just don't understand
I'm gonna leave you, woman
Do the best I can
(Crying won't help you)
I said, crying won't help you, baby
(Crying won't help you)
Oh, your crying won't help you now
You've been so mean to me

Yeah, before I leave you, woman
Before I shake your hand
Gonna get me a woman
Not to get you man
Crying won't help you baby
(Crying won't help you)
I said, crying won't help you, baby
(Crying won't help you)
You know crying won't help you baby
'Cause you've been so mean to me

No

Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
No, crying won't help you
