Sad movies always make me cry

He said he had to work, so I went to the show alone.

They turned down the lights and turned the projector on.

And just as the news of the world started to begin,

I saw my darling and my best friend walking in.

 

Although I was sitting right there they didn't see me.

And so they both sat right down in front of me.

And when he kissed her lips then I almost died.

And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.

 

Oh Sad movies always make me cry

Oh Sad movies always make me cry

 

And so I got up and slowly I walked on home,

And Mama saw the tears and said "Baby, what is wrong".

And so just to keep from telling her a lie,

I just said "Sad movies makes me cry".

 

Oh Sad movies always make me cry

Oh Sad movies always make me cry

Oooo Ooooo - Sad movies make me cry.
