She Cries

Brown Jason Robert

There's a couple of things I've learned 
On the many roads I've taken 
Flames are not what get you burned 
It's the cold and the ice 
Here's a piece of advice 
I got from a little bird 
The flames can get you 
Stirred 
It's the cold that leaves you shaken 
I don't like to philosophize 
I just want to tell a story 
Always leave when a woman cries 
Never look in a woman's eyes 
You'll get stuck with a high and rising fever 
And then you can't leave her 
Please, don't wait man 
It's almost too late man 
She cries and you want to hold her 
She lies and you want to run away 
But just give her a minute 
I promise you're in it to stay 
She smiles and you'll stay forever 
She screams 
Well, that's the price you pay 
But there's no one can make you 
Forget how you feel 
For all she can take 
You've got more there to steal 
So you don't mind a bit of surprise 
And she cries 
I don't like to admit I'm wrong 
I believe in guts and glory 
But it's time I should change my song 
I've been here just a bit too long 
Always thought I was much too strong for hating 
And still I keep waiting...
And while I'm resolving 
That door keeps revolving 
She cries and you want to hold her 
She lies and you're half way out the door 
But you never can do it 
She'll make you go through it once more 
She smiles and you'll stay forever 
She sings 
Oh, she's got you now for sure 
And each time that you swear 
That you will not give in 
She'll throw you a stare 
That'll show you can't win 
It's amazing how hard each man tries 
But she cries 
All of a sudden 
You fall for her charms 
You promise you'll stop all her tears 
All of sudden 
She's back in your arms 
And the walls start closing 
And blocking out the light 
And changing all your dreams 
And right before your eyes 
She cries 
And I don't know the answer 
She spies 
And there's no place I can hide 
When I look in the mirror,
There's nothing but fear here inside 
I run 
And still she is right behind me 
I fall 
The chasm is too wide 
So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique 
Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week 
But each time I prepare my goodbyes 
Well, she catches me looking 
And she opens the floodgates 
And she cries
