I'LL CRY INSTEAD (By Lennon/McCArtney, 1964. Sung by John)

I've got every reason on earth to be mad

'cos I've just lost the only girl I had

if I could get my way

I'd get myself locked up today

but I can't, so I'll 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 say it somehow

but I can't, so I'll cry instead.

Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when I start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away

but I'll come back again some day.

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls

I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world

yes I'm gonna break them in two

and show you what your lovin' man can do

until then I'll cry instead.

Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when I start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away

but I'll come back again some day.

And when I do, you'd better hide all the girls

'cos I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world

yes, I'm gonna break them in two

and show you what your lovin' man can do

until then I'll cry instead.
