I'll Cry Instead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've got every reason on Earth to be mad,

'Cos 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'll 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'll cry instead

Don't wanna cry when there's people there,

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away-ay-hay,

But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you better hide all the girls,

I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world,

Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two

And show you what your lovin' man can do,

Until then I'll cry instead

Don't wanna cry when there's people there,

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away-ay-hay,

But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you better hide all the girls,

'Cos I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world,

Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two

And show you what your lovin' man can do,

Until then, I'll cry instead.
