She Just Likes To Cry

Midnight lay my head on my pillow

Listened to the screaming

Man, he's cussing her like a dog

I live in 201, they're in 202

I say a little prayer

'Cause I've been there and I stayed too long

I knocked on their door yesterday to see if everything was alright

He said everything's just fine

She just likes to cry

She likes to get her way

There's no reason for you to pry

Everything's okay

These walls are paper thin

So if you hear her again

You'll know the reason why

She just likes to cry

Then today I was looking out my window

Saw their little girl

Out on the playground on the monkey bars

So I walked down and saw her bruises

That's when he walked up

Said, "Girl, shut up and get in the car"

With tears rolling down her face

She climbed up in that seat

And he turned and said to me

She just likes to cry

She likes to get her way

I told the girl to stay inside

But she just had to play

She's just like her mama

Causing drama

Now you know the reason why

She just likes to cry

I pulled in from work today

Police cars parked outside

I heard him tell the officers as I walked by

She just likes to cry

She likes to get her way

I promised you I wouldn't lie

Everything's okay

These walls are paper thin

So if someone calls again

You'll know the reason why

She just likes to cry

She just likes to cry

So I turned around

And put my head down

And cried
