I've got every reason on earth to be mad

Cos I've just lost the only girl I had

And if I could get my way

I'd get myself locked up today

But I can't so I 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

And if I could see you now

I'd try to make you sad somehow

But I can't so I cry instead.

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

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay

But I'll come back again someday.

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 them 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'm gonna hide myself away, ay hay

But I'll come back again someday.

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

Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
