Bobby “Blue” Bland
I Ain’t Gonna Be The First To Cry
I ain't gonna be the first to cry
Even though you had the last laugh on me
I ain’t gonna be the first to cry
Even though you had the last laugh on me
You're just a link in my chain
Someone else will ease this misery

I ain't gonna be the lonely one
Someone will chase the clouds away
I ain’t gonna be the lonely one
Someone will end this rainy day
It's just a matter of time
And time is all I've got since you went away

I ain't gonna let the teardrops fall, oh no
They could never wash away the pain
I ain't gonna let the teardrops fall, oh no
Even though you turned my love into a game
There's just one thing that you should know
You'll be sorry some day

I ain't gonna be the first to cry, no
Even though you had the last laugh on me
I ain’t gonna be the first to cry
Even though you had the last laugh on me
You’re just a link in my chain
Lord someone relieve this misery
Somebody

I won't be the first to give in

I won’t do it

You can't make me do it
