[Chorus]
Why are you crying, and what can I do?
It's not so easy just watching you
Cry alone
Can you tell me what's wrong?
And if you think it might help
I can bring my guitar
And sing you a song

[Verse]
I know love has made a fool of others
And I guess love has made a fool of me
Try to answer questions that
You never even asked of me
I know you've been left in doubt
By the things that you're not sure about
Well I can say I've been there too
And maybe we can both find out
If you will tell me

[Chorus]
Why are you crying, and what can I do?
It's not so easy just watching you
Cry alone
Can you tell me what's wrong?
And if you think it might help
I can bring my guitar
And sing you a song
