Crying's Easy

Caught up in no man's land
Don't know where you stand
Pretty lady, just where you are
Living in loneliness
Teardrops you can't resist
You look so weary and so sad
Yes I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

Chorus
I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Yours dreams are now yesterday
Your hopes so far away
Don't you worry I'll be yours
Just put your hand in mind
Stay with me awhile
I know it's not hard if you try
For I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

You bring out the Trini in mih
You bring out the Bajan in mih
You bring out the Vinci in mih

Bacchanal is in my walk
Hear the sweetness when I talk
Look how you’re staring like a hawk

You feel so good baby rock back on me and give me more
You feel so good I wonder which part you come from
Blow my mind

You bringing me…..you bringing me, your caribbean girl

You know I love to play mas
Watch my bumper when I pass
Move your hands doh touch mih
Your Caribbean girl

You know I love to behave rude
When you get me in the mood
Bring out the pot I’ll cook your food

You feel so good baby rock back on me and give me more
You feel so good I wonder which part you come from
