lyrics

SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT

WHEN I WAS A BOY I WAS SCARED OF THIS KID
HE USED TO HIT ME FOR FUN
TRIED TO FIGHT EVERYONE – IT’S JUST WHAT HE DID,

AND THO’ HE LIVED ON OUR STREET
I HARDLY KNEW HIM AT ALL
THEN ONE DAY WALKING BY I THOUGHT I HEARD HIM CRY
I LOOKED OVER THEIR WALL

HIS DAD HAD HIM DOWN - HIS DAD MADE A FIST
HIS DAD HIT HIM HARD IN THE FACE AS HE HISSED
I’LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT (3X)
THAT’S RIGHT… THAT’S RIGHT.

I DIDN’T TELL ANYONE
AND NONE OF IT CAME TO LIGHT
THAT KID MOVED OUT OF TOWN
I NEVER SAW HIM AROUND
‘TIL MUCH MUCH LATER IN LIFE,

BUT HE REMEMBERED MY NAME
HE TRIED TO SELL ME A KNIFE
HE WAS OUT ON PAROLE – NEEDED SOME DOUGH
HE WAS OUT LOOKING FOR HIS WIFE

HE SAID, “SHE’S HIDING MY BOY.
I NEVER HURT ANYONE - THAT BITCH CRIED TO THE JUDGE,
SHE CRIED THE WHOLE TRIAL.
NOW I CAN’T SEE MY OWN SON…
I’LL GIVE HER SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT (3X)
THAT’S RIGHT… THAT’S RIGHT.

WE ALL COME UP SHORT - WE ALL HAVE REGRET
WE ALL HEAR A CRY, WE DENY - THEN TRY TO FORGET
SOME SONGS ARE A PRAYER - SOME SONGS ARE A KNIFE
SOME SONGS ARE A CUT WE OPEN UP
TO SAVE OUR OWN LIFE
I’LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT (3X)
THAT’S RIGHT… THAT’S RIGHT.
