Status seekers, I never cared
Once I found out they never dared
To seize the world and shake it upside down
And every stinking bum should wear a crown

Saying I cry for love
'Til all the plates are broken
Cry for love
Until my eyes are soaking, yeah
Cry for love
On every sammy morning, yeah
I cry for love
'Cause imitation's boring
Cry for love
Cry for love
Cry for love

Bad TV that insults me freely
Still I know what I'm dying to see
In searching for a meaningful embrace
Sometimes my self-respect took second place
And I cried for love
I did what my heart told me

Cried for love
Can't stand it when they scold me, yeah
I cried for love
On every sammy morning, yeah
I cry for love
'Cause imitation's boring
Cry for love
Cry for love
Cry for love
Cry for love

Surfers ride for love
And wipe out when it hits 'em
Soldiers kill for love
And nobody admits it
If you're crying for love
Well, that's okay, don't sweat it
If you're crying for love
Then there's still a chance you'll get it
Cry for love
Cry for love
Cry for love
Cry for love

Cry for love
