No matter what you say, baby
No matter what you do
The way you treat me baby
Is coming back home to you

And crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you, baby
Cause you've been so mean to me

You must remember, baby
No matter where you go
Watch those seeds just scatter, baby
Cause you're gonna reap just what you sow

Crying won't help you
Your crying won't help you
Crying won't help you, baby
Cause you've been so mean to me

This way you treat me, baby
I cannot understand
So, I'm gonna leave you, baby
Let you do the best you can

And crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you, baby
Cause you've been so mean to me

Take this man

Before I leave you darlin'
I just want to shake your hand
I'm going back to my woman
And let you go back to you man

But remember crying won't help you
Crying won't help you
Crying won't help you, baby
Cause you've been so mean to me
