CRYING’S JUST A THING YOU DO
[Verse 1]
You're at the whitest wedding
Their black is very slimming
But everybody's staring at you
You're sipping your Darjeeling
And staring at the ceiling
You dream about it splitting in two
And every time the wind blows
You open up the windows
The china crashes down on the floor
It's really got me hurting
I'm trembling and I'm cursing
I'm rattled more than ever before

[Chorus]
You say there's nothing I could do
To ever satisfy you
'Cause crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do

[Verse 2]
I kinda held my head down
For most of the ride
Skimming through Rosetti and Poe
I never felt the spinning
Of this machine I been in
I never saw the ice on the road
And every time it thunders
You always sit and wonder
Should we climb the roof and watch it roll in?
I think I'm sinking under
I'm feeling torn asunder
It's really getting under my skin
[Chorus]
You say there's nothing I could do
To ever satisfy you
'Cause crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
You never see the danger
In telling every stranger
There's something sinister in your blood
Contrary propositions
Have always left me smitten
But hell is pouring on like a flood
I need an indication
A bit of education
This love affair is worth dying for
It really had me hurting
I'm trembling and I'm cursing
But I'm tangled more than ever before

[Chorus]
I guess there's nothing I can do
To ever satisfy you
'Cause crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
[Outro]
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
Crying's just a thing that you do
