[Verse 1]
You say you played the fool
You tried to play it cool
You let her standing there all alone
Now you wonder why
You sit alone and cry
But now your cupboard's bare
You should have know that
You'd be a happy man
If you could turn back the hands of time
You know that I understand
Because I've seen it all through your eyes
[Chorus]
That's how I know cryin' ain't gonna win her back
And beggin' ain't gonna make her crack
I done told ya cryin' ain't gonna win her back
Oh, no, no, no
Flowers ain't gonna get you jack
Because I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried
When she was mine
[Verse 2]
I've seen it all before
You had an opеn door
But you just ignore what you've been handed
And now you'rе sweet on her
But now she don't concur
She turned her back on you
And left you stranded
You'd be a happy man
If you were startin' all over again
I told you that I understand
Because I've been right where you've been
[Chorus]
I'm tellin' ya cryin' ain't gonna win her back
No, no, no. And beggin' ain't gonna make her crack
That's why I'm tellin' ya cryin' ain't gonna win her back
No, no, no. Flowers ain't gonna get you jack
Oh, no, because I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried
When she was mine
Oh, listen to me good now
Cryin' ain't gonna win her back
No, no, no, no, no
Beggin' ain't gonna make her crack
Oh, no, no. Cryin' ain't gonna win her back
Listen what I'm sayin' to you
Flowers ain't gonna get you jack
I know because I tried, tried, tried, tried, tried
When she was mine
