I Ain't Gonna Be The First To Cry - Bobby Bland

I ain’t gonna be the first to cry

Even though you had the last laugh on me

I ain’t gonna be the first to cry

Even though you had the last laugh on me

You’re just a link in my chain

Someone else will ease this misery

I ain’t gonna be the lonely one

Someone will chase the clouds away

I ain’t gonna be the lonely one

Someone will end this rainy day

It’s just a matter of time

And time is all I’ve got since you went away

I ain’t gonna let the teardrops fall, oh no

They could never wash away the pain

I ain’t gonna let the teardrops fall, oh no

Even though you turned my love into a game

There’s just one thing that you should know

You’ll be sorry some day

I ain’t gonna be the first to cry, no

Even though you had the last laugh on me

I ain’t gonna be the first to cry

Even though you had the last laugh on me

You’re just a link in my chain

Lord someone relieve this misery

Somebody

I won’t be the first to give in

I won’t do it

You can’t make me do it
