The Salt In My Tears

(Dolly Parton) I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you Gave you every bit of my time Gave you everything I could possibly give you My body, my heart, and my mind I turned my family and good friends against me Listened to my own heart break And I did it all in the name of love Gave up myself for your sake And you never cared about me You only hurt and deceive I realize after all of these years That you ain't worth the salt in my tears You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me Over and over again You promised to love me forever But forever reached a bitter sweet end Been blinded by love to your actions But at last I can see my way clear I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried But you, you've never shed one tear 'Cause you never cared about me You only hurt and deceive I realize after all of these years That you ain't worth the salt in my tears You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here You've left me crying, left me crying for years But you ain't worth the salt in my tears You never cared about me You only hurt and decieve I realize after all of these years That you ain't worth the salt in my tears No you ain't worth the salt in my tears --- The Salt in My Tears - Dolly Parton
