I’ll Cry Instead Lyrics by Jerry Inman

Lennon - McCartney Country Style R.F.D.

1968

[Verse 1]
I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I just lost the only girl I had
If I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't so I'll cry instead

[Verse 2]
I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
'Cause I can't talk to the people that I meet
If I could see you now
I'd try to make you sad somehow
But I can't so I'll cry instead

[Bridge]
Don't wanna cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

[Verse 3]
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
'Cause I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world
Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two
And show you what your lovin' man can do
Until then I'll cry instead

[Bridge]
Don't wanna cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

[Verse 3]
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
'Cause I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world
Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two
And show you what your lovin' man can do
Until then I'll cry instead

[Outro]
Yes, 'til then I'm gonna cry instead
