About Teardrops

"Teardrops" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1981 album Somewhere in England. It was also issued as the second single off the album, in July 1981. As with the lead single, "All Those Years Ago", Harrison completed the song after Warner Bros. Records had rejected his initial submission of Somewhere in England in September 1980. In response to Warner's concerns, he wrote "Teardrops" as an attempt at a commercially oriented song. Harrison recorded the song at his Friar Park studio in England with Ray Cooper as his co-producer. Despite some reviewers predicting it as a hit, the single failed to achieve commercial success. In the United States, it peaked at number 102 on Billboard's Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart and number 88 on the Cash Box Top 100. more »

Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets
     full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
     with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
     the rain.

In the heart of the lonely man
In and out of love more often where most others can
He walks the streets like the losers in some
     lovers game
He talks so sweet but the news is always much
     the same.

Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets
     full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
     with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
     the rain.

In the eyes of the lonely one
Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks
     upon
He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
His deeds offend he knows that he has brought
     on him.

Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets
     full of
Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking
     with those
Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from
     the rain.
