Lyrics The Outlaws

The Outlaws

Cry No More

Another night with open eyes

Too late to sleep, too soon to rise

You're short of breath, is it a heart attack?

Hot and feverish you face the fact

You're in love and it feels like shame

Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again

You're in love and it feels like pain

Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims

So ask yourself now, can you forgive her

If she wants you to?

Ask yourself, can you even deliver

What she demands of you?

You drift into the strangest dreams

Of youthful follies and changing teams

Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet

Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget

She's made you some kind of laughin' stock

Because you dance to disco and you don't like rock

She'd make fun of you and even in bed

Said, "She was gonna go and get herself a real man instead"

So ask yourself now, can you forgive her

If she begs you to?

Ask yourself, can you even deliver

What she demands of you?

Or do you want revenge?

But that's childish, so childish

But that's childish, so childish

Remember when you were more easily led

Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed

Trembling as your dreams came true

You looked right into those blue eyes and knew

It was love and now you can't pretend

You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend

It's not enough, she knows how you feel

But she's not prepared to share you with the memory

So ask yourself now, can you forgive her

If she begs you to?

Ask yourself, can you even deliver

What she demands of you?

Ask yourself now, can you forgive her

If she begs you to?

And ask yourself, can you even deliver

What she demands of you?

Or do you want revenge?

But that's childish, so childish
