Released on when youre a boy (1991)
Oh, Im lonely
But I only seem to need him when hes not around
Cause he comes up
At the same time that I go down.
Then I give him what he needs
And then he pours it all over me
Everybody, everywhere wants something
What could it be?
Thats why (thats why) girls cry
Thats why (thats why, thats why) girls cry.
Cause the summer
Brings heat and the winter comes and takes it away
Cause I came to work
But the boy only came to play.
Then he gives me what I need
And then I tell him, "get over me"
Everybody, everywhere wants someone
Who could it be?
Thats why (thats why) girls cry
Thats why (thats why, thats why) girls cry.
I dont wanna talk about it
I dont wanna talk about it
Talk and talk and talk and talkin, ooh
Oooh-waa, oooh-waa, oooh-waa
Talk and talk and talk and talkin, ooh
Oooh-waa, oooh-waa, oooh-waa.
Why bite the hand that needs you
Why break the heart that bleeds you
Why give my hand, I dont understand
Why lose a love that almost leads you?
Theres a line in a dream
Where the ocean always meets the sky
If I think real fast
I can make it by the end of the night.
Why cant I live my love that way
So perfect in every way
I cant stop this feeling
What could it be?
Thats why (thats why, thats why) girls cry
I dont wanna talk about it
Thats why (thats why, thats why) girls cry
I dont wanna talk about it.
Thats why (thats why, thats why) girls cry
I dont wanna talk about it
Thats why (thats why, thats why) girls cry
I dont wanna talk about it.
I dont wanna talk about it
I dont wanna talk about it.
