DON'T
YOU CRY FOR ME
(Lane)
Don't you cry for me
Don't want me, now I'm going
If what you say is true
You'll only wish me merry
Well, all the things I love that
you put down
Well, they'll all seem near when I'm not around
Oh yes they will. Ooh yes they will.
It's time to make a change
Don't want to hurt nobody
The day has been too long
I'm restless and I'm weary
Now you can wear your broken-hearted
badge
And be so good and I'm so bad
Oh yes I am. Ooh yes I am.
Well, you can wear your broken-hearted
badge
And be so good and I'm so bad
Oh yes I am. Ooh yes I am.
I hoped that time would send
All the love I feel away now
And free me like a bird
From this cage that I've been making
Ooh well, I'll take the storm
and all its waves
And be becalmed for all of my days
Oh yes I will. Mmm, yes I will.
