Do I Have To Cry

James David / Lenny Stack

Do I have to cry
In order to catch your eye
The love we held precious
You now take for granted
And I don't know what to do
I find I'm still loving you
But I'm just a fixture
You keep like a picture on the wall

Do I have to cry
To show what I feel inside
Friends try to console me
But words just can't hold me
The way your arms used to do
When we'd love the whole night through
Still I'll keep a smile up
While tears seems to pile up inside

I thought true love
Was something that would never change
Like in the stories mama told
To put me off to sleep
Now I am wiser
Knowing nothing ever stays the same
But there are some of those fairytales
You've got to keep
Or you might as well die

If love should return
And you don't know what do, do
You don't have to run back
As long as you come back to me
And don't be surprised
If I should cry

(Do I have to cry)
Tell me, do I have to cry
(Do I have to cry)
Tell me, do I have to cry
(Do I have to cry)
Oh, do I have to cry
