Lyrics 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.

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.

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,
And show you what your loving man can do.

But I can't, so I cry instead.
But I can't, so I cry instead.
But I can′t, so I cry instead.
