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.) |
