Lyrics
- I never thought a girl could come along
And worry me the way you do
I used to tell them, all, to run along
But what a fool I’ve been since I met you
Chorus
Now, I met girls who nearly drove me crazy
And I met girls who had me feeling blue
I met a few who had me guessing
And I am confessing
Almost broke my heart in two
I met a girl who made me think she loved me
I thought I’d die the day she said goodbye
But of all the girls, the many girls I ever met
You’re the only girl that made me cry
- All women say a man must have a heart
That he looks foolish when he cries
That he should laugh at every knock he gets
And never shed a tear or heave a sigh
Chorus
Now, I met girls who nearly drove me crazy
And I met girls who had me feeling blue
I met a few who had me guessing
And I am confessing
Almost broke my heart in two
I know just one that I will love forever
I can’t forget the day she said goodbye
There is just one girl I love the best, my dear mother
She’s the only girl that made me cry
