Don't Cry

I found you in that howling basement

Lying on the floor

You could feel the time come knocking

Knocking at your door

He'll give you something

And you'll be begging for more

You're on a crooked road to nowhere

Oh honey, that's for sure

It's the same old feeling

You don't have to lie

Yeah, it don't mean nothing

I'm gonna tell you why

Don't cry now, don't cry

Don't you cry, girl

You'll be alright

Come on, get up from down there

There's dirt on that floor

He's got you in the palm of his hand now

Like all those times before

You're so lost in your kingdom

Your kingdom of fear

And there's no one out there

No one's gonna appear

It's the same old feeling

You don't have to lie

Yeah, it don't mean nothing

I'm gonna tell you why

Don't cry now, don't cry

Don't you cry, girl

You'll be alright

Remember when I found you praying

While you were down on your knees

You're looking for communication

To put your mind at ease

You gotta reach out to someone

I know, you'll try

You know I love you more than life itself

I just can't tell you why

It's the same old feeling

You don't have to lie

Yeah, it don't mean nothing

I'm gonna tell you why

Don't cry now, don't cry

Don't you cry, girl

You'll be alright

Don't cry now, don't cry

Don't you cry, girl

It'll be alright
