Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't wanna cry for you

There's nothing left to lose

If it can make me feel better

Then I'm gonna cry, cry for you

Don't wanna cry for you

There's nothing left to do

If it can make me feel better

Then I'm gonna cry, cry for you

[Verse 2]

I know men aren't supposed to act this way

But things, they got too real, I couldn't stay

Now I know one day we will both feel good

If I could be with you, you know I would

[Verse 3]

I don't wanna cry for you

There's nothing left to do

If it can make me feel better

Then I'm gonna cry, cry for you

I don't wanna cry for you

There's nothing left to lose

If it can make me feel better

Then I'm gonna cry, cry for you

[Verse 4]

I turn the lights down low and close the door

And try to feel the way I felt before

Hell, cry in the middle of the day

It better make me feel a better way

If it could take my pain away

Yeah

Oh

Take my pain away

[Verse 5]

I don't wanna cry for you

But there's nothing left to lose

I gotta let the boy have his way

'Cause he gets him to drink it away

I don't wanna cry for you

There's nothing left to do

If it can make me feel better

Then I'm gonna cry, cry for you

If it can make me feel better

Then I'm gonna cry, cry for you

[Verse 6]

Oh (Make me feel better)

Cry for you

Oh (Make me feel better)

Cry for you

I'm gonna cry, (Make me feel better) cry for you

I'm gonna cry, cry for you
