Time is a matter of fact
And it's gone and it'll never come back
And mine, it's wasted all the time
Tears, stupid tears, bring me down
[Verse 2]
I got lucky by coincidence
But I got my feelings bent
And my head looking at the ground
Tears, stupid tears, bring me down
[Chorus]
How could you know that's where the wind blows?
Out to the wind, that's where my love goes
And it brings me down
Tie my brain into a knot
Those tears, stupid tears, bring me down
[Verse 3]
I know that I have a friend
He stays with me all day long
He knows and I walk in his shell
I was born in the body and right from the start
Those tears, stupid tears, been tearing us apart
[Chorus]
How could I know that's where the wind blows
Out to the wind that's where my love goes
And it brings me down
Tie my brain into a knot
Those tears, stupid tears, bring me down
