Billy Joe Royal – She Don't Cry Like She Used To lyrics

I only wish it mean't good news
For something's missing from her embrace
And my heart is aching and I'm shaking in my shoes

She don't cry like she used to
She no longer walks the floor
She don't ask me where I'm going
When I'm going out the door
She don't worry, wait or wonder
Like she's always done before
She don't cry like she used to anymore
She don't cry like she used to anymore

If only she would hold me in her arms tonight
And tell me how her heart aches when I'm gone
Even if she'd scold me for staying out all night
At least, I'd know that she still cares enough to carry on

But she don't cry like she used to
She no longer walks the floor
She don't ask me where I'm going
When I'm going out the door
She don't worry, wait or wonder
Like she's always done before
She don't cry like she used to anymore
She don't cry like she used to anymore

Now I'm the one who's breaking down
The one who walks the floor
She don't cry like she used to anymore
She don't cry like she used to anymore
