I'll cry instead

I've got every reason on earth to be mad

'Cause I've just lost the only girl I've had

And if I could get my way, I'd get myself locked up today

But I can't so I cry instead

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet

I can't talk to people that I meet

If I could see you now, I'd try to make you sad somehow

But I can't so I cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they stop and stare

I'm gonna hide myself away

But I'll come back again someday

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls

'Cause I'm gonna break the hearts all 'round the world

Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two

And show you what your loving man can do

Until then, I'll cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they stop and stare

I'm gonna hide myself away

But I'll come back again someday

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls

'Cause I'm gonna break the hearts all 'round the world

Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two

And show you what your loving man can do

Until then, I'll cry instead
