I'll Cry Instead Lyrics

I've got every reason on earth to be mad
'Cause I just lost the only girl I had
If I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't, so I'll Cry Instead

I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger that my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
If I could see you now
I'd try to make you sad somehow
But I can't, so I'll cry instead

Don't want to cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna hide myself away
But I'll come back again someday

And when you do you'd better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world
Yes, I'm gonna break them in two
And show you what your lovin' man can do
Until then I'll cry instead

I'll Cry Instead Song Chart

The Beatles recorded this in two sections that were then edited together.

There is an extra verse on US album version.

Joe Cocker covered this. He had a #1 hit with his version of The Beatles "A Little Help From My Friends" 4 years later.

This was intended for the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night, but it was replaced by "Can't Buy Me Love." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
