Lyrics

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN CRY

I never made the American Idol
Or So You Think You Can Dance
And I was hopin' to get on a reality show
Where you'd give me a second chance

Saw your tears when you left me
You say you didn't see mine
So I got myself a spot on that new game show
Now you can see me live
On So You Think You Can Cry

CHORUS
So you think you can cry cry cry
So you think you can cry
I'm gonna show you that I, I, I
I'm the saddest alive
If this is really good bye bye bye
They're gonna give me first prize
Hope you're watchin' tonight
So You Think You Can Cry

Debbie lost her poodle
She's bawlin' and fallin' apart
Joey lost his winnin' Powerball ticket
Lost it in his ex wife's car

But they can't hold a candle
To weepin' like I do
Nobody here's gonna stand a chance
They never lost somebody like you
So you think you can cry

CHORUS
BRIDGE
You believe you're hurtin' more than me
Well girl, I'll take that bet
Sit right down in that easy chair
You ain't seen nothin' yet

CHORUS
