She said she had to work so I went to the show alone
They turned off the lights and turned the projector on
And just as the news of the world started to begin
I saw my darling and my best friend walk in

Though I was sitting there, they didn't see
And so she sat right down in front of me
When he kissed her lips I almost died
and in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry

Whoa oh oh
Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry

And so I got up and slowly walked on home
And momma saw the tears and said, 'What's wrong?'
And so to keep from telling her a lie
I just said sad movies make me cry

Oh oh oh
Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry
