(Brian HollandLamont DozierEdward Holland, Jr.)



Being hurt by the one you love

It's a feeling that's hard to hide

But you don't seem to understand why

When I'm alone I sit and cry



Ask any girl

Who's often left alone

All by herself

Neglectfully pushed aside

Set aside like a doll on a shelf

Just ask any girl

Ooh, and you'll understand why

I sit and cry



Ask any girl

Who knows the fear of losing

Someone dear

And she'll say the same thing

It hurts you deep

Makes it hard to sleep

Don't take my word

Ask any girl

Then you'll understand why

I sit and cry



Ask any girl

Who receives no loving affection

And she'll feel as I feel

It's heartaches by the number

Many nights without slumber

Ask any girl

Ooh, and then you'll know why

I sit and cry

I sit and cry
