Lyrics
Not Gonna Cry
She sits alone with her friends, staring into space
Everyone looks beautiful, but she still hates this place
She sips an apple martini, her favorite drink
A Leonardo look-alike smiles, she doesn?t blink
Cuz she?s feeling something from the space within
And it makes her crazy that she?s feeling it again
No I?m not gonna cry tonight
No I?m not gonna cry tonight
I?m not gonna lose myself in the arms of a man I find tonight
No I?m not gonna cry tonight
She jokes with her friends as she scans around the room
It?s clear on her face, she has nothing to lose
A skinny local rock star boy prances on the stage
An exotic, foreign man flits around like a bird in a cage
And then there?s Leo and he?s smiling still
Chorus
Tonight she?s over,
She grabs her bag cuz she?s through
Tonight she?s ending and she walks out the door
Cuz she?s starting something new
