It's Friday morning, 3 AM
The crowds have all gone home
It's just you and I
We're up on our own

We could go to bars
Talk to friends and lovers
That we lost so long ago

And I won't cry
If you don't cry
No, I won't cry
If you don't cry
You shake your fist at your God in the sky
You make a wish but your well ran dry
It's just a story that you read in a book
Come on now, take another look

It's just a lie
A story at bedtime
It helps you get by

Love is sorrow
Love is pain
How I long for loves sweet refrain

But two's a crowd
And I'm a fool
Tomorrows dreams
They'll never, never call
For you and I

But I won't cry
So don't you cry
No I won't cry
So don't you cry

You shake your fist at your God in the sky
You make a wish but your well ran dry
It's just a story that you read in a book
Come on now, take another look

It's just a lie
A story at bedtime
It helps you get by

So put your switchblade away
You won't cut me again
Baby don't you even try
Cause I'm so down and so alone
?__________?
?__________?

But I won't cry
So don't you cry
No I won't cry
If you don't cry

You shake your fist at your God in the sky
You make a wish but your well ran dry
It's just a story that you read in a book
Come on, come on, take another look
(repeat 3x)

It's just a lie
A story at bedtime
It helps you get by
It helps you get by
