I tried to cry real tears for you But it just doesn't work and I don't know what else I can do Well, I wish I really loved you but it just can't be And if I never see you again it'd be the same to me And I tried to cry real tears for you Well I seen yesterday in your blue jeans Yeah they looked real tight and funky And you looked like you were part of the scene But your manners aren't too nice and your hair's too long and clean And all you'd like to do is gaze into the television screen And I tried to cry real tears for you Baby you know how I've tried And baby baby I'm burning inside But honey honey those tears fall And it isn't like I don't know why Your style ain't difficult to understand Your smile might make me wanna hold your hand But pretending is for cheaters and sorority signs If you felt the way you talk I'd think you'd have to be blind I know you wanna be my baby, you wanna wear my ring But you're just too well adjusted and you don't know anything And I tried to cry real tears for you Well I tried, to cry real tears for you I tried I tried to cry real tears for you
