If I Start To Cry

Holly Cole

I've got a pretty little house that

I can call my home

I've got a lot of really close friends

A new man, I'm not alone

And it's so good to be so loved

It's so nice

Then why is it not enough

Sometimes….



Like if I start to cry

I might never stop

I could drown the world

Yeah and lose it all

And if I let you in

I might disappear

If I start to cry

Get me out of here



Here I go again, I'm like some loser

On a TV talk show

Everybody feels sorry

For the girl, the lost soul

And it's a damn shame

I tell myself

Appreciate what you have

Or lock it up deep inside



Cause if I start to cry

I might never stop

I could drown the world

Yeah and lose it all

And if I let you in

I might disappear

If I start to cry

Get me out of here



The saddest thing about this is

I don't even know what's really wrong

And the funniest thing about this

Is I'm not even sure what I want



Chorus out
