Today's Beatles song of the day is "I'll Cry Instead"
I've got every reason on earth to be mad
Cause I just lost the only girl I had
And if I could get my way
I'd get myself locked up today
But I can't
So I'll cry instead
I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet
I can't talk to people that I meet
And if I could see you now
I'd try to make you sad somehow
But till then
I'll cry instead
Don't wanna cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna lock myself away
But I'll come back again someday
And when I do you better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world
Yes I'm gonna break em in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then
I'll cry instead
Don't wanna cry when there's people there
I get shy when they start to stare
I'm gonna lock myself away
But I'll come back again someday
And when I do you better hide all the girls
I'm gonna break their hearts all around the world
Yes I'm gonna break em in two
And show you what your loving man can do
Until then,
I'll cry instead
This
track comes from the album "A Hard Day's Night"and was written by John Lennon. The lyrics of the song are described by Cynthia Lennon as "A cry for help
" and goes on to say
"It reflects the frustration he [John Lennon] felt at that time. He was the idol of millions, but the freedom and fun of the early days had gone." John himself would later say that the line "Chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet" was an accurate description of how he was feeling at the time.
