letra de a rainy night (in harlem) - the transitions

[intro]
yo
this song is dedicated
to a woman who broke my heart
caused me a lotta pain
here it goes

mm, ah
mm, ah
mm, oh baby
why me, lady?
oh, why, why, why?
oh, why, why, why?
why?
why did it have to be me, lady?

[verse 1]
’twas a rainy night in harlem
and my world came crumblin’ down, like
everything that i love is gone now
so much pain in my heart
since you broke us apart
i never, never meant to hurt you, no
but i tried
to give you everlastin’ joy
when you left, you changed
my world as i know
i wrote a song about it
if you wanna hear it, here it goes
(hey, baby)

[chorus]
after so many years (so many)
and so many tears (tears)
i cried
i pray to god and ask him why
while i drown in my tears (my tears, baby)
and so many years (years)
have gone by
can’t leave you alone

[verse 2]
oh, love has [?]
and unfettered me
but i loved you, babe, babe
i wanted, more than anything
is to live a life involvin’ you
so what’s the problem, lady?
what the h-ll’s a man to do?
i never, never meant to hurt you, no
but i tried
to give you everlastin’ joy
see, you left, you changed
my world as i know
i wrote a song about it
if you wanna hear it, here it goes

[chorus]
after so many years (oh, lord)
and so many tears
i cried
said, i cried every night, and i– and i– i sat and wondered why
while i drown in my tears (drown in my)
and so many years
have gone by
can’t leave you alone (i pray to god and ask him why)

i used to mourn for love
i gotta mourn for love
i need to mourn for love
i gotta mourn, lady
(hee, hee)
(hee, hee hee hee, mm)
yes i did
oh, yes i did, now
i’m tired, babe
i’m tired of mournin’, lady
listen

[chorus & outro]
after so many years (so many tears that i held inside)
and so many tears (so many years, you destroyed my pride)
i cried (oughta pack my bags and leave you ‘lone)
i would if i could but i’m too far gone
while i drown in my tears (lost my job and lost my friends)
and so many years (changed my life, started drinkin’ again)
have gone by (i loved you baby, needed you, lady)
can’t leave you alone (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
after so many years (yeah, yeah, yeah-heah)
and so many tears (yeah, yeah, yeah-heah)
i cried (yeah, yeah, oh-hoh)
i pray to god and ask him why
while i drown in my tears
and so many years
have gone by (so many)
can’t leave you alone
