She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways

She promised to a stranger
Arranger kisses
She, torn between her heart
And the others' wishes
Try to please them
Try to reason

She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways

She tries to understand
What her father preaches
She wants to live the life
That her new world teaches
Try to tell them
What she felt then

She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways

Try to tell them what she felt then

She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways

She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
She cried
The tears that fell were from Asian ways
