Cryin' For Nothin'

I am a full grown fool and I shoulda known better But I tried and I tried and I could not forget her I would go back to her time after time Man I must have been out of my mind All of that cryin' for nothing All of that tryin' for nothing What has it ever got me What has it ever taught me I've got to keep believing In somethin' baby 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all Well we fought for love and we fought for trust And the whole blessed time it was right there in front of us We could not reach it and I don't know why It took so long just to say goodbye All of that cryin' for nothing All of that tryin' for nothing What has it ever got me What has it ever taught me I've got to keep believing In somethin' baby 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all Well her friends all told her, mine told me But we would not listen, could not see Me and my pride, her and her dreams We never ever stood a chance it seems All of that cryin' for nothing All of that tryin' for nothing What has it ever got me What has it ever taught me I've got to keep believing In somethin' baby 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all 'Stead of just tryin' for nothing Cryin' for nothin' at all
