I found you in that howling basement, lying on the floor
You could feel time come knocking, knocking at your door
Yeah, he'll give you something, and you'll be begging for more
You're on a crooked road to nowhere,
oh honey that's for sure
Ah, it's the same old feeling, you don't have to lie
Yeah, it don't mean nothing, I'm gonna tell you why
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
Oh, come on get up from down there, there's dirt on that floor
He's got you in the palm of his hand now
Like all those times before
You're so lost in your kingdom, your kingdom of fear
Yeah, there's no one out there, no one's gonna appear
Ah, it's the same old feeling, you don't have to lie
Yeah, it don't mean nothing, I'm gonna tell you why
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
Remember when I found you praying
You were down on your knees
Looking for communication, to put your mind at ease
You've got to reach out to someone,
I know you'll try
You know I love you more than life itself,
I just can't tell you why
Ah, it's the same old feeling, you don't have to lie
Yeah, it don't mean nothing, I'm gonna tell you why
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
Don't cry now, don't cry
Don't you cry girl, it'll be alright
