When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day
You said there'd be no sorrow and you'd laugh when I 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

Well, I said I'd laugh when you left me full of funny as you went out the door
You said you'd have another one waiting to wave goodbye as I 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

Well, everything went out like I planned it yes you really put on quite a show
Well, I've thought that I was gonna stand it oh when I walked to the door
Oh, 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 let me down a little bitty tear let me down
