For Crying Out Loud

(Bob McDill - Tommy Rocco)

You're trying to forget but can't believe how long it's taking
You see him on the street and still you feel your poor heart aching
But don't let him know it hurts that much
Don't let him see it's been that rough
Don't let him think that you even miss him at all.

Chorus:
You can cry in your sleep, cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow, cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams, cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'Cause you'll just hate yourself anyhow for crying out loud.

If he's out in the crowd then just pretend that you don't see him
Look the other way and make believe that you don't need him
Don't let him take your dignity
Don't let him make you feel so weak
Don't let him think he even crosses your mind

Chorus:
You can cry in your sleep, cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow, cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams, cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'Cause you'll just hate yourself anyhow for crying out loud.

And if he ever asks just say you're all right
Put on your brightest smile 'till he's out of sight
Then if you've got to cry.

Chorus:
You can cry in your sleep, cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow, cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams, cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'Cause you'll just hate yourself anyhow for crying out loud.

Chorus:
You can cry in your sleep, cry in your heart
Cry in your pillow, cry in the dark
You can cry in your dreams, cry in your mind
But cry on the inside if he walks by
'Cause you'll just hate yourself anyhow for crying out loud...
