A heart out of affection a night at the masquerade You won some and you're lonesome As the spotlight fades Going forth pretending destination is at hand When she's crying just a little just for me I've seen them set off to the promised land Escaping from the hurtings They don't understand A sense of satisfaction On account of pristine tears She's crying just a little more just like you Why don't you cry cry a little over me Why don't you lie Can't you tell me that I am hard to deny Can't she see what I am going through Cry just a little for me Oh girl a little for me Afraid to give away waht you keep inside There's a ghost in your mirror Every lonesome night And those nights are getting colder And your heart is a frozen wound Don't you wonder who'll be there when you awake Why don't you cry cry a little over me Why don't you lie Can't you tell me that I am hard to deny Can't she see what I am going through Cry just a little for me Oh girl a little for me Why don't you cry cry a little over me Why don't you lie Can't you tell me that I am hard to deny Can't she see what I am going through Cry just a little for me Oh cry a little for me
