You always pull this from your bag of tricks
You toss a tear on your cheek just to see what sticks
The dashboard light reads midnight, you don't want me to go
The house is dark, you're falling apart and you hate to be alone

But I don't get it
What's wrong with you?
I swear, you turn it on
Anytime you want to

Cry, cry
Cry on command
Cry, cry
I don't understand
Why you cry on command

Wait a minute, you're not being fair
You know what I've been through, why would you go there?
But you don't get it, I can't hold it in
This ain't who I want to be, oh, it's just who I am

Cry, cry
(I never know why)
(You always think I)
Cry on command
Cry, cry
(Don't ever leave me)
(Don't you believe me)
I don't understand
Why you cry on command

Cry, oh, cry
Why do you think I cry

Cry, cry
(I never know why)
(You always think I)
Cry on command
Cry, cry
(Don't ever leave me)
(Don't you believe me)
I don't understand
Why you cry on command
