The Middle of the Night Is My Cryin’ Time

When you said goodbye I made up a lie
Told everyone that I knew
Our love was not real
So I play the field
And that I never loved you
I put up a front and walked down the street
Forcing a smile all the time
And nobody knows I'm missing you so
It's driving me out of my mind

The middle of the night is when I cry
The middle of the day is when I lie
Tell everyone that I'm doing fine
But the middle of the night is my crying time

All of our friends ask where I've been
They haven't seen me around
I just give a wink and I'm hoping they'll think
I've been out painting the town
Sometimes it seems alone in my dreams
I'm holding you once again
When I awake it's so hard to take
And that's when the tear drops begin

The middle of the night is my crying time
The middle of the day is my lying time
I tell everyone that I'm doing fine
But the middle of the night is my crying time

I put up a front and walk down the street
Forcing a smile all the time
And nobody knows that I'm missing you so
It's driving me out of my mind

The middle of the night is my crying time
The middle of the day is my lying time
I tell everyone that I'm doing fine
But the middle of the night is my crying time
