"Every Day I Have to Cry", also known as "Every Day I Have to Cry Some", is a song written by Arthur Alexander and first recorded by Steve Alaimo in 1962. Although the song has been recorded by many musicians over the years, Alexander did not record his own version until 1975. His version went to #46 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart (and #45 Cash Box). None of the other versions made it into the Top 40 on the US chart. It became Alaimo's greatest hit, his second of nine charting singles
Everyday I have to cry some Everyday I have to cry some Dry the water from my eyes some Everyday I have to cry I had a little girl, I guess I really loved her Everynight I was thinkin' of her You can't mix your love with money 'Cause if you do, you're gonna hurt somebody So everyday I have to cry some Everyday I have to cry some Dry the water from my eyes some Everyday I have to cry Well I know that I am just a poor man But is it wrong to love 'cause I'm not a rich man Everytime you mix your love with money Everytime you're gonna love somebody So everyday I have to cry some Everyday I have to cry some Dry the water from my eyes some Everyday I have to cry
