trying to cry

joe jackson

see the guy in the corner

the one who's drinking another glass

there's a look in his eye

that i've seen so many times in the past

i've seen it in the mirror

and i've seen it in my friends

when we realize we've lost ourselves

and we try to make amends

he'll drink another two or three

and the room will start to spin

then he'll try to let the feelings show

but he'll find he can't give in

you remember what your brother said

remember what your brother said

i'll tell the whole class if i see you"
