Recorded By: Diana Ross & The Sumpremes
 

     Being hurt by the one you love
     It's a feeling that's hard to hide
     But you don't seem to understand why
     When I'm alone I sit and cry

     Ask any girl
     Who's often left alone
     All by herself
     Neglectfully pushed aside
     Set aside like a doll on a shelf
     Just ask any girl
     Ooh, and you'll understand why
     I sit and cry

     Ask any girl
     Who knows the fear of losing
     Someone dear
     And she'll say the same thing
     It hurts you deep
     Makes it hard to sleep
     Don't take my word
     Ask any girl
     Then you'll understand why
     I sit and cry

     Ask any girl
     Who receives no loving affection
     And she'll feel as I feel
     It's heartaches by the number
     Many nights without slumber
     Ask any girl
     Ooh, and then you'll know why
     I sit and cry
     I sit and cry
