B
I'm standing in a jolly crowd
E
Joking, laughing a little too loud
A
Looking like the model of a man

that's got it made

But my repartee is just to disguise

All the hurt I'm trying to hide

'Cause I'm crying, I'm crying
Crying inside

B
I'm sitting in a restaurant
E
A few old friends in a fa vorite haunt
A
And I'm wearing a suit

of deepest blue
I've been wise- cracking

like the good old days
E
But pretty soon I'm gonna slip away
A

And walk myself right back to
my lonely room

not supposed to cry
If you look at my face,

cut me some slack
'Cause they don't know,
E
while they're slappin' my back
A
I'm crying

Cry, cry, cry, crying inside
Whoa, here comes the tears
