cry to me

Singer: john hiatt

getting dark and it feels like trouble

heating up just like the fallin' evening rain

tongues so sharp they could burst any bubble

nobody wants to talk about all that pain

they're all having fun playing with your feelings

you can't control it

it just breaks your heart

dirty double crosses done with underhanded dealings

when all you ever wanted was a place to start

come on and cry to me baby

you can even lie to me baby

i'm probably gonna let you down but

i swear i won't keep you down

i swear i won't keep you down

memories of highway 19

they still haunt you

babies a motorcycle parts

broken windows and crushing blows that taunt you

not one damn thing in the yard that starts

i wonder why love is always looking for its own goals

or is that just what hurt people do

find the ones who injured them the utmost

practically beg 'em to make their dreams come true

come on and cry to me baby

you can even lie to me baby

i'm probably gonna let you down but

i swear i won't keep you down

i swear i won't keep you down

yup!

sometimes something good can come from lying

'cause sometimes when they got you so down

somethin' worse can come from crying

'cause sometimes they just wanna keep you down

come on and cry to me baby

you can even lie to me baby

i'm probably gonna let you down but

i swear i won't keep you down

yeah

come on and cry to me baby

you can even lie to me baby

i'm probably gonna let you down but

i swear i won't keep you down

yeah

i swear i won't keep you down

i swear i won't keep you down
