We he wanted someone firmer    And he wanted someone younger   And he always had a thing for blondes   As it happened his new secratery happened to be   All of that rolled into one   And the woman who had lived with him   And angel who had given him the last 22 years   Is now crying big Cadillac tears      Cadillac Tears don't hurt so bad   Cadillac Tears she aint so sad   Well she might have lost her wedding ring   But she took him for everything   No momma didn't do too bad   Aw she's crying big Cadillac Tears      Well she's runnin' through his money   so fast it isn't funny   And she's emptied every shop in town   She bought a mink and diamond rings   And lots of other shiny things   To wear when she goes stepping out   And she's headed to her lawyers   'Cause this morning when he called he   He said cheques are piling up here   Aw she's crying big Cdillac tears      Yeah she's crusin' down the street   With custom wheels and leather seats   You know she gets a new one every year   Aw she's cryin' big Cadillac Tears   Momma is cryin' big Cadillac Tears   Big old Cadillac Tears
