--- 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
