Boys Don't Cry

I met you on friendster, your name was all weird

I feared the worst but the more I learned it all became clear

you were a female peer, just a few years younger than I

and you wrote the longest letters, the very best size

You live in London, used slang like prat,

you were dating the gym one akin to tight abs

I’d spend the days half, trying to make you laugh

you would and write back give me some more of that

well after one week. i knew i was hooked

you'd blush at each key stroke xo without' getting one look

At the other side guy his pics might be fake

this type of shit happens every day.

I’m no rock star, a clock watching drone

who's breath stinks of liquor, all stoned like lawn gnomes

No girlfriend, no hook ups just lovelorn and fucked up

no friend to just vent on, one who'll, say all bets off

concert was cancelled, you answered my email

Turns out your bummed out didn’t want to give details

A mate had od'd, I could feel your heart beat

I miss you never met you, xo mc

Boys don't cry they prefer bawlin' not shot callin' teardrops fallin

I’m jonesin harder than gollum, please god say that's London callin'

Boys don't cry they prefer bawlin' not shot callin' teardrops fallin

I’m jonesin harder than gollum, please god say that's London callin'

why ya gotta be so far away

why do plane tickets gotta cost an arm and a leg

maybe i should save a couple dollars a day

so without delay, i can look at your face

smell your hair, rest my hand on your neck

never mind neckin, you know that comes next

I’ll buy you a dress at that place owned by Dodi Fayed

give ya head every night before bed

but you might not d-i-g m-c,

might think me to brash or condescending

a sad finish Without taking a first step

can't avoid saying something that I will regret

but I bet that we would hit it off great I could come to you

or you could come to the states get you a job at mtv

whatever you need, I’m a slave 4 u like Britney was to JT

romance is a cruel trick, playin me like school kids

don't know if I should do this, if i'm stupid or just foolish

can't help but pursue this, despite you being half a world from me

what I wouldn't give to sit and sip a cup of tea

while you nibbled on a crumpet I’d love it indeed

sincerely yours, xo mc
