Sad Movies (always Make Me Cry) Lyrics - Singles - Thompson Sue

(peak Billboard position # 5 in 1961) 

Words and Music by John D Loudermilk 

Sa-a-a-d 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 darlin' and my best friend walk in 

Though I was sittin' there they didn't see 

And so they sat right down in front of me 

When he kissed her lips I almost died 

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

Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry 

Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry 

And so I got up and slowly walked on home 

And mama saw the tears and said "what's wrong?" 

And so to keep from telling her a lie 

I just said "sa-a-a-d movies make me cry" 

Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry 

Oh-oh-oh sa-a-a-d movies always make me cry 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 

Sa-a-a-d movies make me cry-i-i
