she just likes to cry

midnight

lay my head on my pillow

listen to the screamin'

man he's cussin'

her like a dog

i live in 201

they're in 202

i say a little prayer cause i've been there

and i stayed too long

i knocked on their door yesterday to see if everything was alright

he said everything's just fine

she just likes to cry

she likes to get her way

there's no reason for you to pry

everything's okay

these walls are paper thin

so if you hear her again

you'll know the reason why

she just likes to cry

then today i was lookin' out my window

saw their little girl out on the playground

on the monkey bars

so i walked down and saw her bruises

that's when he walked up

said girl shut up and

get in the car

with tears rollin' down her face she climbed up in that seat

and he turned and said to me

she just likes to cry

she likes to get her way

i told the girl to stay inside

but she just had to play

she's just like her mama

causin' drama

now you know the reason why

she just likes to cry

i pulled in from work today

police cars parked outside

i heard him tell the officers

as i walked by

she just likes to cry

she likes to get her way

i promise you i wouldn't lie

everything's okay

these walls are paper thin

so if someone calls again

you'll know the reason why

she just likes to cry

she just likes to cry

so i turned around and put my head down

and cried
