I know you cry

You're a mess, honey, you're a mess

And you'll never change

Oh, I'm well aware

That you'll run away once I'm out your bed

So we play pretend, this love affair

The kill will never end

Like you never cared

But I know you cry the tears that you hide

It's no surprise to anyone at all

You're so predictable

You let your pride take over your life

Would it make you less of a gentleman

If you were genuine?

'Cause I know you cry

I heard you say it's 'cause your father left

So now you're having sex with girls you meet on the internet

I've heard every excuse for your common blue shoes

You say you're never in the mood

I'd rather say you're insecure

Keep up the act so nonchalant

But I know you cry the tears that you hide

It's no surprise to anyone at all

You're so predictable

You let your pride take over your life

Would it make you less of a gentleman

If you were genuine?

'Cause I know you cry, you cry, you cry, you cry

Baby, I know you cry, you cry, you cry, you cry

(Cry the tears that you hide)

Cry, cry, cry

I know you cry the tears that you hide

It's no surprise to anyone at all

You're so predictable

You let your pride take over your life

Would it make you less of a gentleman

If you were genuine?

'Cause I know you cry
