The Crying Game
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
I've had my share of the crying game.
First there are kisses, then there are sighs;
And then, before you know where you are,
You're sayin' goodbye.
One Day soon i'm gonna tell the moon
About the crying game.
And if he knows, maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches, why there are tears,
And what to do to stop feeling blue
When love disappears.
First there are kisses, then there are sighs;
And then, before you know where you are,
You're sayin' goodbye.
Don't want no more of the crying game,
Don't want no more of the crying game,
Don't want no more of the crying game,
Don't want no more of the crying game.
