Lyrics Johnny Rivers

Johnny Rivers

I'll 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.

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.
