Intro

x 4

Verse 1

A heart out of affection, a night at the masquerade

 You won some and you’re lonesome as the spotlight fades

Going forth pretending destination is at hand

 When she’s crying just a little, just for me

I’ve seen them set off to the promised land

Escaping from the hurtings they don’t understand

 A sense of satisfaction on account of pristine tears

 She’s crying just a little more, just like you no oh no no

Chorus

Why don’t you cry

Cry a little over me

Why don’t you lie

 Can’t you tell me that I am

Hard to deny

 Can’t you see what I am going through

Cry just a little for me

Oh girl, a little for me

Verse 2

Afraid to give away what you keep inside

 There’s a ghost in your mirror every lonesome night

 All those nights are getting colder and your heart’s a frozen wound

 Don’t you wonder who’ll be there when you awake yeahhh

Chorus

 Guitar Solo/Interlude: x4

Last Chorus:

Why don’t you cry

Cry a little over me

Why don’t you lie

 Can’t you tell me that I am

Hard to deny

 Can’t you see what I am going through

Cry just a little for me

Oh cry a little for me
