Holly Cole Trio - Cry (If You Want To) lyrics

rate me

Cry if you want to<br />

I wont tell you not to<br />

I won’t try to cheer you up<br />

I'll just be here if you want me<br />

<br />

It’s no use in keeping a stiff upper lip<br />

You can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip<br />

You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship<br />

You cry if you want to<br />

Don’t ever apologize venting your pain<br />

Its something to me you don’t need to explain<br />

I don’t need to know why<br />

I don’t think it’s insane<br />

You can cry if you want to<br />

<br />

The windows are closed<br />

The neighbors aren’t home<br />

If it’s better with me than to do it alone<br />

I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone<br />

You can cry if you want to<br />

<br />

You can stare at the ceiling and tear at your hair<br />

Swallow your feelings and stager and swear<br />

You could show things and throw things and I wouldn’t care<br />

You can cry if you want to<br />

<br />

I won’t make fun of you<br />

I won’t tell any one<br />

I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done<br />

I won’t advise you to go and have fun<br />

You can cry if you want to<br />

<br />

Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad<br />

I can’t feel what you feel but I know it feels bad<br />

I know that its real and it makes you so mad<br />

You could cry<br />

<br />

Cry if you want to I won’t tell you not to<br />

I won’t try and cheer you up<br />

Ill just be here if you want me; to be<br />

Near you
