I shouldn't cry
When you kiss me, good-bye
But most of us do
I shouldn't sigh
When you tell me a lie
But most of us do

I should've known at the start, dear
Love is an old army game
I shouldn't dream of the sun
When I'm so used to the rain, dear

Though I pretend that I'm gay
Through the rain
But most of us do
Longing to hug you and kiss you, again
But most of us do

I shouldn't try to forget, dear
Loving the way I do
I shouldn't grieve the moment you leave me
But most of us do

(instrumental)

'Yas, yas'
Come on now, come on

(Tampa claps through instrumental)

'At's it!'
'I want ev'rybody sing, help me'

'I hear you, I hear you, tryin'-a sing'

'Uh-huh, I hear ya Mr. Ivory man'

And though I pretend
That I'm gay to the end
But most of us do
Just longing to hug you
And kiss you, again
But most of us do

I shouldn't try to forget you
Loving the way I do-ooo
I shouldn't grieve whenever you leave me
But most of us do.
