Lyrics
VERSE 1
Don't cry me a river - don't tell me how to feel
Since we've been together, it's been the real deal
But I know our love will pull us through
Keeps use together when a storm begins to brew
Can't see the answer today - but more love's on the way
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
VERSE 2
I tried crying a river - tried walking in your shoes
Can't see the reasons for half the things we do
But I know - I love you
That keeps me going when we've got the blues
The answer seems far away - but I'm here to stay
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
BRIDGE
Now that we're hear - I'll shed that tear
If it will make us whole
Ya, I know I'm dry - but I'll give it a try
Just... for you...
That's what I'm gonna to do
VERSE 3
Don't cry me a river - don't tell me how to feel
Since we've been together - it's been the real deal
But I know our love will pull us through
That keeps me going - when we've got the blues
Can't see the answers to day
But more love's on the way
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
TAG
We're gonna feel OK with more love on the way
That's what we're gonna do!
That's what we're gonna do!
