There was a little girl
I had planned to marry
This was my love
I didn't want to share it

I thought that love would
Make my life bright and sunny
She said she couldn't love me
Cause I didn't have no money

So, every day, I have to cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
Drive the water from my eyes some
Every day, I have to cry

I had me a girl
And yes, I really loved her
Every night, well, I was
Thinking of her

But you can't
Mix love with money
Cause if you do
You're gonna hurt somebody

And every day, I have to cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Every day, I have to cry

Now, Lord, I know
That I'm just a poor man
But is it wrong to love
Cause I'm not a rich man

But you can't
Mix love with money
Cause every time
It hurts somebody

And every day, I have to cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Every day, I have to cry

But you can't
Mix love with money
Cause if you do
You're gonna hurt somebody

Every day, I have to, ooh, cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
