I'll Cry Instead - The Beatles

I've got every reason on earth to be mad 'Cause I've just lost the only girl I've had And if I could get my way, I'd get myself locked up today But I can't so I cry instead I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet I can't talk to people that I meet If I could see you now, I'd try to make you sad somehow But I can't so I cry instead Don't want to cry when there's people there I get shy when they stop and stare I'm gonna hide myself away But I'll come back again someday And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls 'Cause I'm gonna break the hearts all 'round the world Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two And show you what a loving man can do But 'til then, I'll cry instead Don't want to cry when there's people there I get shy when they stop and stare I'm gonna hide myself away But I'll come back again someday And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls 'Cause I'm gonna break the hearts all 'round the world Yes, I'm gonna break 'em in two And show you what a loving man can do But 'til then, I'll cry instead

Go, be yourself, on your way And don't ever look back To check if I'm okay And don't ever be sad That you chose him instead 'Cause I don't want regrets And I'd rather be rid of it And when you want someone who'll care Who will know how you feel When you don't wanna share Who will show you support When you've lost your meaning Just remember this time When you chose not to be with me And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead, 'cause He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half as good as he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me Go, be in love, I don't care But don't ever pretend That we're both unaware 'Cause the truth is that you still permit me to be Close enough that I know That you don't want me to leave And then I remember he's there And he's been there for years At your side like a stain And when I see you with him In your eyes there's a pain And it's trapped you inside Like you can't get away And I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead, 'cause He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half as good as he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you I tried to defend How I thought we would play out I came and confessed That I love you more than he does So choose me instead Oh, choose me instead He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He's not good enough for you He won't do the things that I would do He's not good enough for you He's not good enough to be Even half the man that he should be And I watch you choose him instead of me Watch you choose him instead of me

Are you counting those things again In hope that they get you in Pretending the wind is a breeze And letting your body freeze And if you ask yourself you could stop these wayward pleas So get up off of your knees No matter what your father said or the books you read Maybe you should save yourself instead We jumped at the count of nine But you still needed more time You jumped at the count of eighteen And let out a joyful scream And said now I can see But now you're just playing dead As you pray to be led But maybe you should save yourself instead
