Lyrics
I am not the lies you told...Iam not the song you sold
I am not sorry for your sins...I only cried for her
You think yourself a deity...to save me from iniquity
But you can't even save yourself...I only cried for her
# Chorus... I only cried...for her
I only cried...for her
Get the girl another line...see if you can change her mind
A shame you have to buy her time......I only cried for her
Crystal clear and cocaine blues...did you make her dreams come true?
You are just a thing she used...but I still cried for her.
# Chorus
## Teach her you anthems...Polish her tantrums
You won't forget it...You will regret it
Instrumental break
For one who is so impotent...to speak of my empowerrment
That is just a word you used...I only cried for her
All that sparkles is not gold...you're going rate on human souls
Some things can't be bought or sold...I only cried for her
# Chorus
#Chorus
*Sub text Toot toot Tootsie...good-bye Toot toot Tootsie...don't cry
