Pretenders Crying In Public
[Verse 1]
Crying in public's an unfortunate thing
A woman in love is a delicate thing
And a woman who's sad for no reason at all
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Will be crying in public, in the car, or the mall
[Chorus 1]
Crying in public
Crying in public
[Verse 2]
She's on the train, alone there she sits
Sobbing her heart out, falling to bits
On a park bench on a sunny day
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When a woman's distressed, you best look away
[Chorus 2]
If she's crying in public
Crying in public
[Bridge]
Feminists claim that we're all the same
But I don't know a man who's felt the same shame
[Verse 3]
She might look a million or only ten cents
When mascara runs, there's no recompense
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Aristocrat, pauper or the bourgeoisie
All know what it feels like when life's misery
[Chorus 3]
Means crying in public
Crying in public
[Verse 4]
Knowing that everyone sees it revealed
When the heartstrings are pulling you into a field
You run through the cornrows and find nowhere to hide
Then all of a sudden it bursts from inside
[Outro]
And you're crying in public, crying in public
Crying in public, crying in public
Crying in public, crying in public
