--- Start Of Little Bitty Tear Lyrics ---


A little bitty tear let me down ... spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown ... but a little bitty tear let me down

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

A little bitty tear let me down ... spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown ... but a little bitty tear let me down

BREAK

I said I'd laugh when you left me ... pull a funny as you walked out the door
That I'd have another waiting ... and I'd wave goodbye as you go

A little bitty tear let me down ... spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown ... but a little bitty tear let me down

BREAK

Everything went as I planned it ... and I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it ... till you walked with your grip through the door

A little bitty tear let me down ... spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown ... but a little bitty tear let me down

A little bitty tear let me down ... a little bitty tear let me down
