Lyrics

(Verse)
I read your mind like an open book
You lost the fire in your eyes
You turn to me with a different look
And then it's raining, looks like it's raining

(Chorus)
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling

(Verse)
Something is wrong as I hold you near
Somebody else holds your heart, yeah
You turn to me with your icy tears
And then it's raining, feels like it's raining

(Chorus)
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no tears are falling

(Bridge)
Ain’t that the truth baby!

(Chorus)
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no tears are falling

(Chorus)
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no, tears are falling
Oh no tears are falling
