Crying, crying over you

Intensify security
Break the chains that hold me down
No chance for sanity around here
Cause I ain't gonna be your fool no more

Another mask of innocence
You hide away for convenience
It's just a change of attitude oh yeah, yeah

'Cause I ain't gonna be your fool no more
'Cause I ain't crying, crying over you
All you ever want me to do
Crying over you

You never seem to state your case
You always make me lose it, lose it
I'm getting tired of running the race oh yeah, yeah

'Cause I ain't gonna be your fool no more
'Cause I ain't crying, crying over you
All you ever want me to do
Crying over you
Yeah

Nothing's gonna change my direction
'Cause I ain't gonna cry

Crying, crying over you
All you ever want me to do
Crying over you, oh no, oh no

Crying, crying over you
All you ever want me to do
Crying over you, oh no, oh no, oh no
