Weep No More (Lover Man) - Billie Holiday

I'm just about fed up

I've finally had my fill

Of sitting around

And crying in my beer

I've drunk the bitter cup

I've downed the bitter pill

While waiting for

The silver lining to appear

I'm going to stack my blues up

On the very highest shelf

I'm going to pack my blues up

And get wise to myself

Weep no more my baby

Weep no more my baby

Weep no more

I'm going to weep no more

I'm putting an end

To this lonesome game

It's such a lonesome

Game this crying

Cry no tears

I'm going to cry no tears

Each time that

I happen to hear his name

I hear his name

I'm going out on the town

This hopeless torch I will drown

'Cause I'm tired of running around

Running around

With just a memory

Weep no more

I'm going to weep no more

Till somebody weeps

Until somebody weeps for me

I'm going to stack my blues up

On the very highest shelf

I'm going to pack my blues up

And get wise to myself

Weep no more

I'm going to weep no more

Till somebody weeps for me

Weep no more
