I Cry
Listen to Jonathan ...
I cry for no reason, no reason at all,
I cry when I’m hurt after taking a fall,
I cry when I stub all my toes on the bin,
I cry when I lose, I cry when I win,
I cry when I’m sad, I cry when I laugh,
I cry in my bed and I cry in the bath.
Some days I cry lots, some days I just don’t,
Some days I admit it, some days I just won’t.
It’s healthy to cry, but I think it’s worth stating,
Crying this much can be so dehydrating.
I cry when I’m hurt after taking a fall,
I cry when I stub all my toes on the bin,
I cry when I lose, I cry when I win,
I cry when I’m sad, I cry when I laugh,
I cry in my bed and I cry in the bath.
Some days I cry lots, some days I just don’t,
Some days I admit it, some days I just won’t.
It’s healthy to cry, but I think it’s worth stating,
Crying this much can be so dehydrating.
