I’ll Cry Instead Songtext
von Joe Cocker

I′ve got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I′ve just lost the only girl I've had
And 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 stop and stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday


And when I do, you′d better hide all the girls
′Cause I'm gonna break the hearts all ′round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break ′em in two
And show you what a loving man can do
But 'til then, I′ll cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they stop and stare
I′m gonna hide myself away
But I′ll come back again someday

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls
′Cause I'm gonna break the hearts all ′round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break ′em in two
And show you what a loving man can do
But 'til then, I'll cry instead
