When time a check, a whole heap a money dem a mek
A whole heap a tax and toll a collect

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no more
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no more

Life get harder, a sticky pon wi
Look how much tax dem throw down pon wi

[Chorus:]
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no more
