I've got every reason on earth to be mad 

'Cos 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 



I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet 

I can't talk to 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 



Don't want to cry when there's people there 

I get shy when they start to stare 

I'm gonna hide myself away-ay

But I'll come back again someday 



And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls 

I'm gonna break their hearts all 'round the world 

Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two 

And show you what your loving man can do 

Until then, I'll cry instead
