"Crying In Public" lyrics - THE PRETENDERS

Crying in public's an unfortunate thing
A woman in love is a delicate thing
And a woman who's sad for no reason at all

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Will be crying in public, in the car, or the mall

[Chorus 1:]
Crying in public
Crying in public

She's on the train, alone there she sits
Sobbing her heart out, falling to bits
On a park bench on a sunny day

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
When a woman's distressed, you best look away

[Chorus 2:]
If she's crying in public
Crying in public

[Bridge:]
Feminists claim that we're all the same
But I don't know a man who's felt the same shame

She might look a million or only ten cents
When mascara runs, there's no recompense

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Aristocrat, pauper or the bourgeoisie
All know what it feels like when life's misery

[Chorus 3:]
Means crying in public
Crying in public

Knowing that everyone sees it revealed
When the heartstrings are pulling you into a field
You run through the cornrows and find nowhere to hide
Then all of a sudden it bursts from inside

[Outro:]
And you're crying in public, crying in public
Crying in public, crying in public
Crying in public, crying in public
