i'll cry instead
I've got every reason on earth to be mad, 'Cause I've just lost the only girl I had. 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 start to stare, I'm gonna hide myself away, hey; I'll come back again someday. And when I do you'd better hide all the girls, I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world. I'm gonna break them in two, I’ll show you what your loving man can do. But I can't, so I cry instead. I've got every reason on earth to be mad, 'Cause I've just lost the only girl I had.
