Lyrics
Vv1
Everybody wants to play the game
Everybody wants the odds the same
No one likes to lose their voice
And no one likes to make a choice
Nobody likes to know they're wrong
Nobody likes to live too long
Ref
Everybody cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry.
Cry, cry, cry.
Cry, cry, cry.
Vv2
No one takes me by the hand
To lead me to the promised land.
No one seems to know the way
Or tell me what the hell to say
Strangers come and go each day
And strangers seem to fade away.
Ref
Everybody cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry.
Cry, cry, cry.
Cry, cry, cry.
Mid
You always said you'd be there for me - I always knew you didn't care for me
The lies you told - the calls on hold.
My life was nothing before I met you - and nothing on my own
Instrumental
Vv3
I wonder who you are
And tell me: have you come far?
Do you give everything you own?
Am I left here without a home?
Tears running down my face,
All the pressure and no grace.
Ref
Cry, cry, cry.
Everybody cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry.
Cry, cry, cry.
Cry, just cry.
Hold my hand, hold my face and cry
There's nothing that you can give me that I won't take from you.
There's nothing I want, nothing I want to say to you.
Hold me so close, hold me so near - tell me the reason that you're what I fear.
Cry, cry, cry.
Oh honey, cry, cry, cry.
Cry, cry, cry.
Everybody cry, cry, cry.
Cry.
