i ll cry instead

Johnny Rivers

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.
