You never cry like a lover should,
Sigh when it feels real good
Or see the sky through the stone and wood.
You never cry like a lover.
I thought I saw somebody I loved
Sleeping deep inside you.
If I could catch you in an unguarded moment
I'd stay right there beside you.
You never smile at me late at night,
Laugh out loud when we get it right.
You can't get loose if there's too much light.
You never smile like a lover.
Try a little harder I can't live with you, baby,
Harder- can't live without you.
Try a little harder
And sometimes I believe in love,
Sometimes I doubt it.
But your life goes on like a broken down carousel
Where somebody left the music on.
I was hopin' you were the one,
I was hopin' you were the one,
I was hopin' you were the one,
I was hopin' you were the one.
You never move like you used to do,
Pour it out when you're feelin' blue.
Somebody must have put some pain in you,
You never cry like a lover,
You never cry like a lover.
You never cry like a lover- cry
You never cry like a lover- you never cry
Cry like a lover- come on and cry
You never cry like a lover- cry
Cry like a lover- cry
You never cry like a lover- cry cry
Cry like a lover- you never cry
(fade)
