(Dolly Parton)

I've tried and I've tried for so long to please you 
Gave you every bit of my time 
Gave you everything I could possibly give you 
My body, my heart, and my mind 
I turned my family and good friends against me 
Listened to my own heart break 
And I did it all in the name of love 
Gave up myself for your sake 

And you never cared about me 
You only hurt and deceive 
I realize after all of these years 
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears 

You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me 
Over and over again 
You promised to love me forever 
But forever reached a bitter sweet end 
Been blinded by love to your actions 
But at last I can see my way clear 
I've cried and I've tried, and I've tried and I've cried 
But you, you've never shed one tear 

'Cause you never cared about me 
You only hurt and deceive 
I realize after all of these years 
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears 

You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears 
Treated like dirt, I'm hurt, I ain't hangin' 'round here 
You've left me crying, left me crying for years 
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears 

You never cared about me 
You only hurt and decieve 
I realize after all of these years 
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears 
No you ain't worth the salt in my tears
