"It's Ok To Cry" lyrics - NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE

Joey's in his top hat
Looking like an alley cat
Whetting all the kiddies' appetites
Isn't he a dream?
No he's only flirting

Look at how he swaggers
Up and down the sidewalk
Everybody sees he really
Isn't what he seems
No, he's really hurting

It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry

Dodging all the bullets
Leaping over rooftops
Working out his two-step
Brushing off his over-shoes
Thought he was the only

He couldn't find a girlfriend
Took a right [lens]
And found a little bar
With a bit of something he could use
He was feeling lonely

It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry

Like an old tom cat
Couldn't show his face
Till his wounds are healed
Joey had to skip on this whole rat race
'Cause he got a dirty deal
But when the next full moon rises above
That backstreet battleground
You'll find Joey strutting in the back
Acting like he's safe and sound

It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
(You know you don't have to be so tough)
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
(It's OK for a man to cry now)
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
(It's OK for a man to cry now)
