A heart out of affection, a night at the masquerade
You won some and you're lonesome
As the spotlight fades
Going forth pretending destination is at hand
When she's crying just a little
Just for me

I've seen them set off to the promised land
Escaping from the hurtings
They don't understand
A sense of satisfaction
On account of pristine tears
She's crying just a little more
Just like you

Why don't you cry
Cry a little over me?
Why don't you lie?
Can't you tell me that I am hard to deny?
Can't she see what I am going through?
Cry just a little for me
Oh girl, a little for me

Afraid to give away what you keep inside
There's a ghost in your mirror
Every lonesome night
And those nights are getting colder
And your heart is a frozen wound
Don't you wonder who'll be there when you awake

Why don't you cry
Cry a little over me?
Why don't you lie?
Can't you tell me that I am hard to deny?
Can't she see what I am going through?
Cry just a little for me
Oh girl, a little for me

Why don't you cry
Cry a little over me?
Why don't you lie?
Can't you tell me that I am, hard to deny?
Can't she see what I am going through?
Cry just a little for me
Oh cry, a little for me
