"I'll Cry Instead" lyrics

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, hay
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them 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 start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away, hay
But I'll come back again someday

And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
Cause I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then
I'll cry instead
