"What's She Crying For" lyrics - JUSTIN TOWNES EARLE

In the corner by the doorway
Sitting all on her own
She's been there all night long on the phone
With her head hanging down
There in the screen light
See the tears on her face and hurt in her eyes

[Chorus:]
And I wonder who she's talking to
And I wonder why she's feeling so blue
I don't know her, but I've seen her here before
And I wonder what she's crying for

Is she waiting for some old flame to show?
Maybe it's bad news from mom
It's hard to say though I found
The 'cause of most hurt these days is a lack of [who to love in the world?]

[Chorus:]
And I don't know why I should care
Lord knows I've got my own crosses to bear
Last time I checked, there was no one keeping score
I just wonder what she's crying for

[Outro:]
I'm not in the habit of taking strays, no
I just asked if you thought she had some place she could go
Now she don't strike me as the helpless soul
I just wonder what she's crying for
Yeah I wonder what she's crying for
