Crying Won’t Make Him Stay

[Verse]
I've been cryin', I've been cryin'
But I ain't gonna cry no more
I've been worried, I've been worried
Daddy, I ain't gonna worry no more
And I realize, I've opened up my eyes
And I've bid old worry goodbye
If my man's not satisfied with me
He can go away and let his sweetie mama be

[Chorus]
If your man, he takes a notion he wants to go away
Honey, cryin' won't make him stay
No, sweetie dear, come on and dry those tears
Because your man is goin' anyway
I'm gonna tell you women something, and it's a natural fact
You've got your jelly along with you, your man'll bring it on back
If your man, he takes a notion hе wants to go away
Honey, cryin' won't make him stay, not thesе days, girls
Cryin' won't make him stay

[Instrumental Break]
[Strut?] on it, daddy, [strut?] on it
Whoop that thing, papa, whoop it!
Long time and a heap of it
Lord, Lord

[Chorus]
If your man, he takes a notion he wants to go away
Honey, cryin' won't make him stay
No, sweetie dear, come on and dry your tears
Because that man is goin' anyway
Now I'm a big fat mama, I may look rough
But anybody down in my neighborhood can tell you fat mama knows her stuff
If your man, he takes a notion he wants to go away
Honey, cryin' won't make him stay, not these days, babe
Cryin' won't make him stay
