My Tears Keep On Flowing Intro Ladies and gents, lend your ear, We got tales of love — sweet and queer. From Cupid’s dart to karma’s sting, We cry, we swing, we sing! Verse 1 He was quiet like a Sunday breeze, Didn’t dance, didn’t tease. But I said, “He sweet me so,” And suddenly, he stole the show. He sweet me so! He stole the show! My heart go jump like a mango drop, Cupid winked — then did a belly flop. Oh, my tears keep on flowing, Like kettle on the fire, glowing. From the first sweet sigh to the final goodbye, Love lift me high, then make me cry. Verse 2 He wore charm like a tailor’s thread, Sugar words, but sour bread. He was a jumbie in a gentleman’s suit, Scoring hearts like a panman’s flute. Panman’s flute! Sour bread! I catch feelings like a fever wild, Karma laugh — “Not for you, child!” Oh, my tears keep on flowing, Like steelpan in the rain, showing. From the first sweet sigh to the final goodbye, Love lift me high, then make me cry. Verse 3 We build a life with bricks and dreams, Through baby cries and job routines. Love go quiet, like a midnight bell, We stay strong, but who can tell? Midnight bell! Who can tell? Hard love, strong love, steady and slow, Cupid sleepin’ — karma steal the show. Oh, my tears keep on flowing, Like river in the moonlight glowing. From the first sweet sigh to the final goodbye, Love lift me high, then make me cry. Bridge He sweet me, then he leave me. He promise me, then deceive me. We build a home, but lose the spark. Still I cry, alone in the dark. Verse 4 Lovers come like carnival breeze, Some bring joy, some bring unease. They hold my hand, they kiss my cheek, But none could stop the tears that leak. Oh, my tears keep on flowing, Like calypso drums still going. From the first sweet sigh to the final goodbye, Love lift me high, then make me cry. Outro So here we stand, with hearts still true, Dancing to the rhythm of me and you. Cupid’s bow may miss its mark, And karma leaves a lasting spark. But through each love, each high, each low, My tears… keep on flowing — soft and slow.
