Monkees - While I Cry lyrics

by Michael Nesmith

They told me what you'd do

If I ever stayed with you,

They told me that you'd laugh while I cried,

They told me what you'd say,

That you'd turn and walk away

And find another place to play while I cried.

Now I think back on those times

I didn't read between the lines,

How all the things that you said

Never seemed to match the things you did.

SOLO

Thoughts keep turning round in my mind,

Now I see reason and rhyme,

Time spent with you has brought me something

And I've lost nothing if you are that kind, ahhhhh...

They told me what you'd do

If I ever stayed with you,

And sure enough, it all came true.
