1973 "Ice Water" (Capitol)
You tell me that I must not cry
You tell me all good things must die
You ask me why I get upset
You tell me that I will forget
Tell me why
You tell me I won't be blue for long
You say I'll find a love that's strong
You tell me she was not for me
That's just the way love's got to be
Tell me why
You tell me I will find my way
Tomorrow won't be like today
You tell me life was meant to be
One-third good two-thirds misery
Tell me why
You tell me that I must not cry
You tell me all good things must die
You ask me why I get upset
You tell me that I will forget
