Boys Don't Cry
(Originally by The Cure; lyrics by Robert Smith)

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

(NOTE: Idlewild have covered this song twice, and both times Roddy has
cocked up the words.  On the 13th Note acoustic performance, he
accidentally began the second verse with "I would tell you that I loved you"
before realising his mistake and slipping back into "beg forgiveness, plead
with you".  On the Re:covered he ended the second verse with "But I know I've
said too much and (begins to laugh) said too much and been too unkind."  The
above are the original lyrics, as it should be sung.)
