Lyrics

Crying Inside

I'm standin', in a jolly crowd

Jokin', laughin', a little too loud

Lookin' like a model of a man that's got it made

But my repartee is just to the skies

All the hurt I'm trryin' to hide

'Cause I'm cryin', I'm cryin', cryin' inside

I'm sittin' in a restaurant

A few old friends in our favorite haunt

And I'm wearin' a suit of deepest blue

I've been wise-crackin' like good old days

But pretty soon I'm gonna slip away

And walk myself right back to my lonely room

Everybody knows

A man's no supposed to cry

And if you look at my face

You'll see my cheek is dry

I wish sometimes they'd cut me slack

'Cause they don't know while they're slappin' my back

I'm cryin', cry-cry-cryin', cryin' inside

Whoa, here come the tears

Cry again, cry again

Well, everybody knows

A man's no supposed to cry, cry-cry-cry

So behind this grin

I'm holdin' it in

Up until I say goodbye

Well, I wish sometimes they'd cut me slack

'Cause they don't know while they're slappin' my back

I'm cryin', cry-cry-cryin', cryin' inside

Nobody knows I'm cryin', cryin' inside

I'm the life and the soul of the party

Sometimes while I'm cryin' inside

Cryin' inside

Cryin' inside

Cryin' inside
