I'LL CRY INSTEAD
(Lennon-McCartney)
1964
John originally wrote "I'll Cry Instead" for the A Hard Day's Night, but
director Richard Lester felt it was unsuitable for the scene he had in mind
- a sequence involving a fire escapre. "Can't Buy Me Love" was used instead.
I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I just 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 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 sad somehow
But I can't so I'll cry instead
Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna lock 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 round the world
Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna lock myself away
But I'll come back again some day
And when I do you'd better hide all the girls
'CauseI'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
Yes I'm gonna break 'em in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then I'll cry instead
