Lyrics
Don?t Cry On Me (OTJ)
J.DiGirolamo, J. Jennings
© Copyright 2006
We?ve gotta problem
You know the game
I?ve got an answer
To end this endless pain
You look confused now
And a bit concerned
But I cannot teach you
What you cannot learn
Chorus:
If you need a shoulder
Don?t cry on me
Cuz you ain?t gonna get my sympathy
Oh no ooo ooo ooo
It?s a new day now
And you?re on strike 3
You think that you don?t need me
Just you wait and see
Maybe think it over
Try and think it through
But I won?t be cryin?
When I say goodbye to you
Chorus:
Bridge:
We tried to change things
And work it out
But you can?t fix a broken heart
Man you think you?re special
Yeah, I thought that too
But now I can see that
I?m better without you
You just keep on walkin?
Don?t you turn around
Cuz I ain?t gonna be here
Waiting for you now
