I Ain't Gonna Cry Again

Joe Cocker


You're a mystery to me 
You make your own reality 
And I wonder who you are beneath your skin 
Guess I'll never know for sure 
But I was safe behind my door 
Can't think how I let you talk your way back in 
Should have known better then 
But I know better now 

You can't hurt me anymore 
I'm not the fool I was before 
I ain't gonna cry again 
I don't believe the lies you tell 
So take your heart and go to hell 
Cause I aint gonna cry again 

You think I need you but I don't 
You think I'll break down but I won't 
You've had everything you're gonna get from me 
Saw your pleasure in my pain 
And it released me from my chains 
And I woke up to my own insanity 
Waiting for changes that were 
Never gonna come 

You can't hurt me anymore 
I'm not the fool I was before 
I ain't gonna cry again 
I don't believe the lies you tell 
So take your heart and go to hell 
Cause I aint gonna cry again 
I ain't gonna cry again 

Now that I see you're twisted 
I don't know how I missed it before 
Maybe that's what drew me to you 
But this is now and that was then 
You'll never make me cry again 

Should have known better then
But I know better now 

You can't hurt me anymore 
I'm not the fool I was before 
I ain't gonna cry again 
I don't believe the lies you tell 
So take your heart and go to hell 
Cause I aint gonna cry again
