I Don't Need to Cry

I don't need to cry anymore

It's been raining like a downpour

And I don't want to feel this aching sore

No, I don't need to cry

Please don't tell me that old sad story

The one about the poor old lost puppy

My heart is sad and blue already

No, I don't need to cry

No, I don't need to cry

I need to dry these tired, red old eyes

I need to laugh and I need to smile

No, I don't need to cry

They say it takes a chief to cry

How can I see with these blinded eyes?

I'll have no more grief and no more strife

No, I don't need to cry

Let me tell you, when it rains, it pours

I've seen them troubles like a raging storm

I need the sun to shine on my back door

No, I don't need to cry

No, I don't need to cry

I need to dry these tired, red old eyes

I need to laugh and I need to smile

No, I don't need to cry

No, I don't need to cry
