Question Mark & the Mysterians 96 Tears Lyrics:
Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'.
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on.
You're way on top now since you left me.
You're always laughin' way down at me.

But watch out now, I'm gonna get there.
We'll be together for just a little while.
And then I'm gonna put you way down here.
And you'll start cryin' ninety-six tears.

Cry. Cry.

And when the sun comes up, I'll be on top.
You be right down there, lookin' up
And I might wave come up here.
But I don't see you wavin' now.
I'm way down here wonderin' how,
I'm gonna get you, but I know now,
I'll just cry, cry, I'll just cry.

Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'.
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on.
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears.
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry, now.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry.

Ninety-six tears, c'mon and lemme hear you cry, now.

Ninety-six tears, whoo! I wanna hear you cry,
Night and day, yeah, all night long.
Uh, ninety-six tears cry, cry, cry.
C'mon baby, let me hear you cry now, all night long.
Uh, ninety-six tears! Yeah! C'mon now.
Uh, ninety-six tears!

[1] Eccentric frontman, Question Mark (actually spelled "?"), had his name
legally changed. He tried to cultivate an aura of mystery by never
appearing in public without a pair of wraparound sunglasses. Also, he
claimed he had been born on Mars and lived among the dinosaurs in a past
life, and that voices from the future had revealed he would be performing
"96 Tears" in the year 10,000. The band was formed in 1962 by Larry Borjas
(bass guitar), Bobby Balderrama (lead guitar), Robert Martinez (drummer)
and ? (vocalist). The general consensus is that ? was actually Rudy
Martinez, Robert's brother, and writer of this song.
