Let Me Make You Cry A Little Longer
by 
Will Jennings 
Joe Sample 
recording of 1978 
from 
Midnight Believer (MCA MCAD-27011) 
You know by now that I've been passed 
Through an awful lot of hands 
And all I have is what is left 
From ten thousand one night stands 
Sometimes I feel like I was there 
When the blues began 
With this crying guitar holding me 
Like a woman holds a man 
Let me make you cry a little longer 
Let me make you high a little longer 
Oh, I want to try a little longer 
Make some woman sigh a little longer 
At night sometimes I can still feel 
Every place I've ever been 
I feel it in my music 
And it all comes back again 
You know I've played for city lights 
And for stars above 
And every note I ever play 
I always play for love 
Let me make you cry a little longer 
Let me make you high a little longer 
Oh, I want to try a little longer 
Make some woman sigh a little longer
