What You Crying For
Girls Aloud · Tangled Up [2007]
Stone, broke,
It's all just a joke
You're burning all your money
And your breathing your smoke
Your eyes shine
The one that decline
But only cuz you've crossed the line
Sink, swim
Oh where to begin?
You're never gonna get it
Coz you always give in
You're smooth, fair,
And out on the edge
So when you gonna put your devils to bed?
Boy! What you looking for?
When the worlds in the palm of your hand.
And what's the crying for?
About the rules in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running like a blind man
With your hand on your heart
Swearing never again
No, Shame
You did it again
You're take my umbrella while I stand in the rain
The last time,
I give you mine
You knew it when you crossed the line
Sink, swim
Oh where to begin?
You're never gonna get it
Coz you always give in
You're smooth, fair,
And out on the edge
So when you gonna put your devils to bed?
Boy! What you looking for?
When the worlds in the palm of your hand
And what's the crying for?
About the rules in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running like a blind man
With your hand on your heart
Swearing never again
You don't care
It's cold out there
You don't mind
Anytime
You don't care
It's cold out there
You don't mind
Anytime
What you looking for?
When the worlds in the palm of your hand.
And what's the crying for?
About the rules in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running like a blind man
With your hand on your heart
Swearing never again
Boy! What you looking for?
When the worlds in the palm of your hand.
And what's the crying for?
About the rules in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running like a blind man
With your hand on your heart
Swearing never again
It's all just a joke
You're burning all your money
And your breathing your smoke
