Learn to Cry Songtext
von Del Amitri

It′s twelve o'clock, the TV′s on and I'm just sittin' around
I′m restless and blue, but I can′t figure out why
As the drunks on the park benches are putting their blankets down
I'm thinking boy, you′d better learn to cry

Well, I could go to sleep or else recourse to alcohol
I could break up some of this room or just go outside
I could turn up some old hit so loud I can't hear it anymore

Sayin′ boy, you'd better learn to cry
Mm-mm boy you′d better learn to cry

Girlfriends and wives punctuate your silence somehow
In darkened rooms in flickering black and white
She says all the actors in this movie are probably dead by now

You're thinkin' boy, you′d better learn to cry
Mm-mm, boy, you′d better learn to cry


You'd better learn to cry, ah
You′d better learn

A familiar face with a loving smile greets you every day
And failure seeps a little deeper through your life
Yeah, sure you gave some girl your heart, but you never used it anyway

Sayin' boy, you better learn to cry
Mm-mm, boy, you′d better learn to cry

You'd better learn
You′d better learn
You'd better learn to cry
You'd better learn
You′d better learn to cry
You′d better learn
You'd better learn
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
