Holly Cole Trio Cry If You Want To Lyrics

Cry If You Want To Lyrics

Cry (if you want to)

by: Holly Cole



Cry if you want

I wont tell you not to

I won’t try to cheer you up

Ill just be here if you want me



It’s no use in keeping a stiff upper lip

You can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip

You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship

You cry if you want to

Don’t ever apologize venting your pain

Its something to me you don’t need to explain

I don’t need to know why

I don’t think it’s insane

You can cry if you want to



The windows are closed

The neighbors aren’t home

If it’s better with me than to do it alone

Ills draw all the curtains and unplug the phone

You can cry if you want



You can stare at the ceiling and tear at your hair

Swallow your feelings and stager and swear

You could show things and throw things and I wouldn’t care

You can cry if you want to



I won’t make fun of you

I won’t tell any one

I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done

I won’t advise you to go and have fun

You can cry if you want to



Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad

I can’t feel what you feel but I no it feel bad

I no that its real and it makes you so mad

You could cry



Cry if you want to I won’t tell you not to

I won’t try and cheer you up

Ill just be here if you want me; to be

Near you
