One Tear Lyrics - Eddie Kendricks

I wake up early every morning 

With just one tear in my eye 

I remember late one evening 

My sweet baby said goodbye to me 

Oh yes, she did 

I cried so hard when she left me 

I just rolled up in a great big ball 

All my life drained from my body 

'Cause that one tear 

That one tear just wouldn't fall 

How I tried to forget her 

But this one tear won't set me free 

I didn't know till she went away 

Just how much that woman meant to me 

Ooh yes, she did 

Without her my life is nothing 

Even though she let me down 

If my baby don't come home to me 

In this one tear 

In this one tear I'm gonna drown 

Every night I, I say a prayer 

And I whisper something, Lord 

I've got to get my baby back 

So this one tear 

So this one tear will let me go 

You, my baby, stop my crying 

I, I, I've been slowly dying 

Want to feel me 

Want to free me 

You, my baby, stop my crying 

I, I, I've been slowly dying 

Want to feel me 

Want to free me
