No man knows what it's like
Crying a river, a river for love
Seems like no one sees
When a woman's fed up
It's always too late and she's already given up

Now what can you do?
Now that she's got that touch, she's got that hold
At night
And what would you do?
Now that she's been hurt in love
Gon' be hard to trust

‘Cause she's giving so much love
And it seems like her best just ain't enough
And it's taking more than she can give
To the point when she can't take no more
And her tears turn to black

Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears

See I've been through it
Once or twice before
So you know that it feel good
When a good woman scorned

You could try anything
To make it work
And then you realize you're standing alone
I wanna know

Now what can you do?
Now that she's got that touch, she's got that hold
At night
And what would you do?
Now that she's been hurt in love
Gon' be hard to trust

‘Cause she's giving so much love
And it seems like her best just ain't enough
And it's taking more than she can give
To the point when she can't take no more
And her tears turn to black

Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears

Oh does it make you feel real good?
Having women cry for for you
Probably been like a real man
Don't know how you can sleep at night, at night

Tell me why does the blame let a good girl go
And they do everything to keep them up
With the cooking and cleaning, is there a reason?
You wanna give it up

‘Cause she's giving so much love
And it seems like her best just ain't enough
And it's taking more than she can give
To the point when she can't take no more
And her tears turn to black

Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears, black tears
Black tears
