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?

Here after seeing The Holdovers -- this song just grabbed me!

[GregoryCreswell]

I listened to this song while the credits were rolling after the movie "The Holdovers". I will give both the movie and the song, an A+. The movie was a tear-jerker.

[GreatGownsBeautifulGowns]

Here after the Holdovers and this song really touched me.

[ThePhoenicianDoctor]

Thank you Holdovers. Movie of the year. Brought me to this song ❤️🇺🇸

[OlamiposiOyeleye]

"The Holdovers" brought me here👌

[oldchicken]

First heard this on The Holdovers and can’t stop listening

[buggz]

Love his voice. Thanks to The Holdovers for this gem

[lasurvivor]

I too just finished watching The Holdovers. I was born in the 50's but the 60's and 70's was my era for great music. Funny though, I don't remember ever hearing this song until now. Such a good movie. At the end of the movie when he was driving away and this song started to play...boy it really moved me! :(

[foglake]

god, where has this song been all my life? wonderful

[dm]

Heard this tune watching the Holdovers not realizing it was a tune 50 yrs it!

[rheinberg]

brilliant film, brilliant song, both would bring a tear to a glass eye🥲

[mickmazaeda]

This song made me cry in The Holdovers. Was such a beautiful little piece to put for Angus exploring the school at night and the end credits

[JasonNation]

The Holdovers movie brought me here. What a song!

[FlukeWin]

The holdovers is the best "not current year" movie to come out this year.

[robertfergison]

At the end of the song he asks himself why he is lying now. If you pertain these last lines to the whole of the song, he DOES cry, he DOES'NT laugh, and he DOES love.

[nikkiallaireee]

Found this song because of the holdovers, it's great to be introduced to gems like this

[filipcolumbeanu]

"It's this one. This is the one you should be looking at"

[richarddean]

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.
