I'll Cry Instead
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
I've got
every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I 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'll cry instead
I've got
a chip on my shoulder that's bigger that 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'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
But I'll come back again someday
And when
you do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your lovin' man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
