So you're feelin' lonely   Like love has gone away at night   You're brokenhearted cause your man ain't never done you right   You feel discouraged, feel like loving nothing but love   You're brokenhearted   Take another teardrop from your eyes, I'm telling you      No woman don't cry   Promise I will be by your side   I want you to know that love is a lie (Yes it is)   And love don't want no woman to cry      I can hear you thunder   I can feel the pain in your eyes   I can smell the flowers that he never gave on Valentine's      Don't be discouraged cause he wasn't right   I know your heart is broken   But I promise you that you're those survivors I'm tellin you      No woman don't cry   Promise I will be by your side   I want you to know that love is a lie   And love don't want no woman to cry      You gave him your love   You gave him your soul   You gave him your money   You gave him a home   Well all he ever gave you   Was a broken heart   Well girl I'm right here standing with love      No woman don't cry   Promise I will be by your side   I want you to know that love is a lie   And love don't want no woman to cry
