Crying Inside

(album: Tokyo Bay / Crying Inside - 2018)

I'm standing, in a jolly crowd
Joking, laughing, a little too loud
Looking like a model of a man that's got it made
But my repartee is just to the skies
All the hurt I'm trrying to hide
'Cause I'm crying, I'm crying, crying inside

I'm sitting in a restaurant
A few old friends in our favorite [?]
And I'm wearing a suit of deepest blue
I've been wise-cracking like good old days
But pretty soon I'm gonna slip away
And walk myself right back to my lonely room

Everybody knows
A man's no supposed to cry
And if you look at my face
You'll see my cheek is dry
I wish sometimes they'd cut me slack
'Cause they don't know while they're slapping my back
I'm crying, cry-cry-crying, crying inside
Whoa, here come the tears

Cry again, cry again

Well, everybody knows
A man's no supposed to cry, cry-cry-cry
So behind this grin
I'm holding it in
Up until I say goodbye
Well, I wish sometimes they'd cut me slack
'Cause they don't know while they're slapping my back
I'm crying, cry-cry-crying, crying inside
Nobody knows I'm crying, crying inside
I'm the life and the soul of the party
Sometimes while I'm crying inside

Crying inside
Crying inside
Crying inside
