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.

But I can't so, I cry instead.
