[Intro]
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And when the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

[Verse 1]
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, can't pull myself together

[Refrain]
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

[Verse 2]
Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
I must get a new alibi
I stay at home and ask myself, "Who is he?"

[Refrain]
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

[Verse 3]
Dry, little tear drops, my little tear drops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly, little mem'ries, my little mem'ries
Remind her of our crazy schemes
[Verse 4]
Somebody said "Just forget about her"
So I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by
Oh well

[Refrain]
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
