One Tear - Eddie Kendricks

I wake up early every morning

With just one tear in my eye

I remember late one evening

My sweet baby said goodbye to me

Oh yes, she did

I cried so hard when she left me

I just rolled up in a great big ball

All my life drained from my body

'Cause that one tear

That one tear just wouldn’t fall

How I tried to forget her

But this one tear won’t set me free

I didn’t know till she went away

Just how much that woman meant to me

Ooh yes, she did

Without her my life is nothing

Even though she let me down

If my baby don’t come home to me

In this one tear

In this one tear I’m gonna drown

Every night I, I say a prayer

And I whisper something, Lord

I’ve got to get my baby back

So this one tear

So this one tear will let me go

You, my baby, stop my crying

I, I, I’ve been slowly dying

Want to feel me

Want to free me

You, my baby, stop my crying

I, I, I’ve been slowly dying

Want to feel me

Want to free me
