[Verse 1: John Lennon] I've got every reason on earth to be mad Cause I've just lost 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 [Verse 2: John Lennon] I've 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 [Bridge: John Lennon] Don't wanna cry when there's people there I get shy when they start to stare I'm gonna hide myself away-ay But I'll come back again someday [Verse 3: John Lennon] And when I do you 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 [Bridge] [Verse 3]
