JUDY’S TURN TO CRY
(Edna Lewis / Beverly “Ruby” Ross)

Lesley Gore - 1963

‘Cause now, it’s Judy’s turn to cry
Judy’s turn to cry,
Judy’s turn to cry
‘Cause Johnny’s come back (Johnny’s come back, come back) to me

Oh, when Judy left with Johnny at my party (my party)
And came back wearing his ring,
I sat down and cried my eyes out
Now, that was a foolish thing

‘Cause now, it’s Judy’s turn to cry
Judy’s turn to cry,
Judy’s turn to cry
‘Cause Johnny’s come back (Johnny’s come back, come back) to me

Well, it hurt me so to see them dance together (together)
I felt like making a scene
Then, my tears just fell like raindrops
‘Cause Judy’s smile was so mean

But now, it’s Judy’s turn to cry
Judy’s turn to cry,
Judy’s turn to cry
‘Cause Johnny’s come back (Johnny’s come back, come back) to me

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, one night I saw them kissin’ at a party (a party)
So, I kissed some other guy
Johnny jumped up and he hit him
‘Cause he still loved me, that’s why

So now, it’s Judy’s turn to cry
Judy’s turn to cry,
Judy’s turn to cry
‘Cause Johnny’s come back (Johnny’s come back, come back) to me

Yay, now, it’s Judy’s turn to cry
Judy’s turn to cry,
Judy’s turn to cry........FADE

And another....

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say “Hello”
Aww you wished me well, you couldn’t tell

That I’d been cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Then you said “so long”. left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying cry-i-ing
It’s hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you but it’s tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do-o-o-o
For you don’t love me and I’ll always be

Cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Yes, now you’re gone and from this moment on
I’ll be crying, crying, crying, cry-i-i-ing
Yeah crying, crying, o-o-o-o-ver you

It truly was the “good old days”. Today that song would have someone shooting the bitch.
