A Little Bitty Tear

A little bitty tear let me down
Spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
You said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away
But you know what
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
I said I'd laugh when you left me
Pull a funny as you walked out the door
That I'd have another one waiting
And I'd wave goodbye as you go
But I lied
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
Everything went like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
In my heart, I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your grip through the door
And then
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
I tell myself it don't matter
I tell myself I don't care
And I tell myself to stop crying
But, darlin', I need you here
'Cause you see
A little bitty tear let me down
It spoiled my act as a clown
I had it made up not to make a frown
But a little bitty tear let me down
Girl, a little bitty tear let me down
I said, a little bitty tear let me down
Yes, a little bitty tear let me down
