Get out your handkerchief
You're gonna cry

Get ready for this
It's a real humdinger
It's gonna sting a bit
But I can't bear to live alone with it, so

Get out your handkerchief
You're gonna cry

It's a sad, sad story
How I did my lover wrong and went out to play
I gambled my everything
And now I've got to pay, so

Get out your handkerchief
You're gonna cry

I hope you've got the time
I hate to trouble you or knock on your door
I knew you'd understand
'Cause that's what friends are for, so

Get out your handkerchief
You're gonna cry

Feel the rain fall from the sky
Falling down on you and I
Maybe you won't
Maybe you will
But when I'm through with you
You're gonna know just how I feel, so

Get out your handkerchief
You're gonna cry

Are you ready for this
It's that old love story where one is left behind
But the only difference is
The heartache is mine, please

Get out your handkerchief
You're gonna cry
