Lyrics:
Crying
Crying never did nobody no good, no how
That's why I don't cry
That's why I don't cry
Laughing
Laughing sometimes does somebody some good somehow
That's why I'm laughing now
That's why I'm laughing now
Loving
Loving never did me no good, no how, no how
That's why I can't love you now
That's why I can't love you now
Lying
Lying never did nobody no good, no how, no how
So why am I lying now?
So why am I lying now?
So why am I lying now?

Long time Labi Siffri fan so was delighted when I heard this whilst watching The Holdovers. Also The Wind by Cat Stevens. Woman sat next to me at the cinema asked me if I knew who sang the songs so I took great pleasure in enlightening her. Absolutely adored the film. Very moving but also caused me to laugh out loud on numerous occasions too.

Thank you. Crying actually dies do good even if it doesn't resolve a matter but it helps wash out the pain..the angst or whatever.. bit by bit. And loving may not always be perfect but it's worth the effort if we take our time at the BEGINNING. Most important is to know the love of the Father through knowing Jesus as Saviour.🙏

Hard to believe this song was released in 1972! Like others, I had never heard it before until I watched the Holdovers. Good movie and beautiful song. For someone that graduated from high school in 1971 and watching this video, well it feels like a walk back into time. A better and simpler time in many ways.

Think the 70s were hitting the rock stages heavy. Stations were taken over by companies paying higher prices to get their promotion hits played first.
