Thought I'd have a little fun with a country tune during this year's FAWM challenge.
As always, the incomparable Billy rose to the occasion. (-:

One Tear Don’t Mean A Heartbreak
V1
I know you been tom cattin’
And abusin’ my good will
But I let you think that everything
Was [as] right as rain until
You thought I didn’t hear you
When you called her late at night
Or didn’t see the tell-tale signs
The lipstick trace, the bites
Pre-chorus
It wasn’t easy telling you
To hit the road, we’re through
And sure, I cried for a moment or two
But…
Chorus 1
One tear don’t mean a heartbreak
One raindrop ain’t a storm
One stone don’t make a mountain
One bee don’t make a swarm
And baby it’d take a whole lot more
For me to let you back inside this door
One tear don't mean a heartbreak
No No No
V2
I know you been smooth chattin’
Got needs you like to fill
You were certain I'd just let it ride
But you went too far downhill
You thought you had me figured
For the timid, trusting kind
You mixed me up with someone
Who was foolish, deaf and blind
Pre-chorus
It wasn’t easy telling you
To hit the road, we’re through
And sure, I cried for a moment or two
But…
Chorus 2
One tear don’t mean a heartbreak
One raindrop ain’t a storm
One stone don’t make a mountain
One bee don’t make a swarm
And baby it’d take a whole lot more
For me to let you back inside this door
One tear don't mean a heartbreak
No No No
Bridge
Hope you like bein’ dumped
Ooops! Please mind the bump
When you drive away
Chorus 3
One tear don’t mean a heartbreak
One raindrop ain’t a storm
One stone don’t make a mountain
One bee don’t make a swarm
And baby it’d take a whole lot more
For me to let you back inside this door
Chorus 4
One tear don’t mean a heartbreak
One raindrop ain’t a storm
One stone don’t make a mountain
One bee don’t make a swarm
Chorus 5
One tear don’t mean a heartbreak
One raindrop ain’t a storm
One stone don’t make a mountain
One bee don’t make a swarm
