Judy Brown took him down to the Bowery she said give me back my heart so they drive to a club where they play, "Neo" but Oh No just a slow dance and love comes and goes you know they never had a chance.. it's the Cry of the broken hearted that no tears can wash away you're in love and now you've parted so she talks to his friends on the street, she says "Joe used to sing to me" out of love out of tears she wants to disappear and now Joe's on the radio he signed some new deal before her heart could heal hear the cry of the broken hearted she's got nowhere to go love is here and now departed she wants to run away she wants to hide... it's the cry of the broken hearted that no tears can wash away it was over before it started
