I Just Wanted to Cry Lyrics

[Intro]
Huh! Oh, baby
Listen to me, girl
And let me tell you my story

[Verse 1]
Here's how I felt when I saw you, girl
Coming down the street
You were a vision of loveliness
You were a pleasure for the eyes to see, oh baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you walked a little closer
My heart began to skip a beat
I just couldn't believe a girl as pretty as you
Could be so close to me

[Chorus]
I just wanted to (Cry)
Oh, baby (Cry)
'Cause you were so fine, so fine, so fine
I just wantеd to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry (Cry)
'Cause you were so finе, so fine, so fine (Cry)
I just wanted to hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Oh, you won't believe the rest, baby!

[Verse 2]
Then you were walkin' so close to me
I could almost touch you with my hand
And I feared that you would just walk on by
And I'd never see you again, oh baby

[Pre-Chorus]
And then once it happened
And it took me by surprise
You know you froze just a moment
When you got close to me, girl
And when you winked your eye

[Chorus]
I just wanted to (Cry)
Lord have mercy (Cry)
Lord have mercy cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry (Cry)
Lord have mercy, I just wanted to (Cry)
Fall on my knees and just break down and cry
I went hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo! Listen, let me tell you, girl!

[Verse 3]
I tried to get myself together, go ahead
Just as fast as I could, listen baby
I searched in my mind for something to say
'Cause I, I knew it had to be good, oh baby (Yes I tried)
I finally got it together (Yes, I did)
And I was ready to shout
But when I opened my mouth
Lawd, nothing came out but
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

I, I, I, I wanted to cry
Woo hoo!

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't no doubt in my mind, little girl
That a man ain't supposed to cry (Cry, no, no, no, no)
But I'm here on my knees with tears in my eyes
Beggin', a-don't pass me by

[Chorus]
I just wanted to cry
Hey (Cry)
Lawd, have mercy (Cry)
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Booboodoo woo wooo boo booo
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Booboodoo woo wooo boo booo
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo
