Lord, I know that I'm just a poor girl
But is it wrong to love, 'cause I'm not a rich girl
I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny
They said I couldn't love him 'cause he didn't have no money

So every day, I have to cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Every day, I have to cry

I had me a guy, I guess I really loved him
'Cause every night, I was always thinking of him
But you can't mix love with money
'Cause if you do, it's gonna hurt somebody

So every day, I have to cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Every day, I have to cry

Lord, I know that I'm just a poor girl
But is it wrong to love, 'cause I'm not a rich girl
I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny
They said I couldn't love him 'cause I didn't have no money

So every day, I have to cry some
Every day, I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Every day, I have to cry
