She Cries Lyrics by Colin Donnell

Songs for a New World (New York City Center 2018 Encores! Off-Center Cast Recording)

2019

[MAN 2]
There's a couple of things I've learned
On the many roads I've taken
Flames are not what get you burned-
It's the cold and the ice
Here's a piece of advice
That I got from a little bird:
The flames can get you stirred-
It's the cold that leaves you shaken

I don't like to philosophize
I just want to tell a story
Always leave when a woman cries
Never look in a woman's eyes
You'll get stuck with a high and rising fever-
And then you can't leave her
Please, don't wait man-
It's almost too late man...

She cries and you want to hold her
She lies and you want to run away
But just give her a minute
I promise you're in it to stay
She smiles and you'll stay forever
She screams, well, that's the price you pay
But there's no one can make you
Forget how you feel
For all she can take
You've got more there to steal
So you don't mind a bit of surprise
And she cries

I don't like to admit I'm wrong
I believe in guts and glory
But it's time I should change my song-
I've been here just a bit too long
Always thought I was much too strong for hating
And still I keep waiting
And while I'm resolving
That door keeps revolving

She cries and you want to hold her
She lies and you're half way out the door
But you never can do it
She'll make you go through it once more
She smiles and you'll stay forever
She sings- oh, she's got you now for sure
And each time that you swear
That you will not give in
She'll throw you a stare
That'll show you can't win
It's amazing how hard each man tries
But she cries

All of a sudden, you fall for her charms
You promise you'll stop all her tears
All of sudden, she's back in your arms
And the walls start closing
And blocking out the light
And changing all your dreams
And right before your eyes

She cries, and I don't know the answer!
She spies, and there's no place I can hide
When I look in the mirror
There's nothing but fear here inside
I run, and still she's right behind me
I fall- the chasm is too wide
So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique
Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week
But each time I prepare my goodbyes
Well, she catches me looking-
And she opens the floodgates-

And
She cries
