Karen Small - That's Why I Cry(1966)
An overlooked B-side from Karen Small. Not much is known about the artist nor she was a prolific figure but I assure you--everything she touched turned out to be absolute gold! Glad to own a copy myself on vinyl! That's Why I Cry [Verse 1] As I sit alone, I cry I just lost my guy He said he didn't love me So tonight, I cry Oh-ho [Verse 2] I prayed and I prayed all last night That I could feel his arms around me tight [Hook] He broke my heart, so that's why I cry [Verse 3] I gave you everything that I had to give But you just wouldn't be true Please, dear Lord, I know I'm a fool But bring his love back to me [Verse 4] Please, baby, please Come back to me I can't take this misery [Hook] You broke my heart, so that's why I cry
