So you're feelin' lonely   Like love has gone away at night   You're brokenhearted   'Cause your man ain't never done you right      You feel discouraged   Feel like love ain't nothing but a lie   You're brokenhearted   Taking all the teardrops from your eyes, I'm telling you      No, woman don't cry   Promise, I will be by your side   I want you to know that love is alive   (Yes it is)   And love don't want no woman to cry      I can hear you thunder   I can feel the pain in your eyes   I can smell the flowers   That he never gave on Valentine's      Don't be discouraged 'cause he wasn't right   I know your heart is broken   But I promise you that   You are gon' survive and I'm tellin' you      No, woman don't cry   Promise, I will be by your side   I want you to know that love is alive   And love don't want no woman to cry      You gave him your love   You gave him your soul   You gave him your money   You gave him a home      Well, all he ever gave you   Was a broken heart   Well, girl, I'm right here   Standing with love      No, woman don't cry   Promise, I will be by your side   I want you to know that love is alive   And love don't want no woman to cry      Oh, no
