Don'T Let Them See You Cry

If you feel the same I'll come around To catch some tv or to paint the town And in a while you will feel better Some people don't watch what they say N they make a list of all your mistakes Like they're the only things that matter Welcome to the world of modern thought It's just as rounded as it is short I pay top dollar just to hear you talk Life is love and war, come and give it a try There will be casualties on both sides Don't ever let them see you cry Don't ever let them see you cry You know you're wanted you are the first No less than the entire universe There is no equal under heaven So where's the harm if you're alright And you still have some appetite And for a smile you'll be forgiven, child Hanging about like a chandelier The light refracted in your crystal tears I think I know what I like about you If you need a hand I'll be glad to oblige A stiff upper lip with a thorn in my side As if I've never been refused, or denied Never been refused, that's my line This is no time to be blinded by grief Welcome to the world of modern thought So damn loud it won't be ignored I'm writing checks that I can't afford There's a dark cloud gathering over your sky I've a roof on my house if you mean to stay dry Don't ever let them see you cry Oh no, don't ever let them see you cry This is nothing to be wasting your time with
