lyrics

Cry Me A River
By Sons of the Golden West
©2014 Eric Butterfield (BMI)

Tough guys, they don't dance
These boots are made for kickin'
I know nothing 'bout romance
Girl, I'm kicking down your door

You can talk all night 'bout looking for love
Well, that ain't free
Gonna take the sparkle of a diamond
For the blind to see

Well I told you there's no miracle
That's gonna wed your heart to me
But you keep holding on

Go on and cry, cry me a river
Come on and cry, cry 'til I reach the sea
Come on and cry, cry me a river

Oh, no, you can't change a man like me

Tough guys, they don't cry
Stand tall, be the silent type
If your mouth is gonna do a dance
Well, you get shown the door

And I promised you no miracle
No heart upon my sleeve
But you keep holding on

Why don't you cry, cry me a river
Go on and cry, cry 'til I reach the sea
Go on, cry, cry me a river
Go on, girl, 'til I reach the sea

No changing a man like me

Cry, cry me a river
Go on, cry, cry 'til I reach the sea
Come on and cry, cry me a river
Go on until I reach the sea

There just ain't no changing a man like me
