Wanda Jackson Lyrics
"Little Bitty Tear"

(Hank Cochran)

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said, There'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away.

But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down

I said, "I'd laugh when you left me
Full of funny as you went out the door"
That I'd have another one a waitin'
To wave goodbye as you go.

But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down.

--- Instrumental ---

Everything went out like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
I thought that I was gonna stand it
But when you've got through the door.

Then a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down.

When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said, There'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away.

But a little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down.

A little bitty tear left me down......
