Chorus 
I cry oh I cry 
Even when I tell myself I’ll get by 
I try oh I try 
Not to ask the question why  
 
Verse 1 
I have often wondered 
What it’d be like growing up with my dad 
Providing the necessary protection 
Whenever I felt rejection  
Putting his arms around me 
Making me feel like royalty  
I guess I’ll never know  
Cos you decided to get up & go 
 
Chorus 
I cry oh I cry 
Even when I tell myself I’ll get by 
I try oh I try 
Not to ask the question why  
 
Verse 2 
Mum has given me her own version 
Though I’d like to have a one on one session 
Cos I don’t want to be in a hurry 
To judge as there are 2 sides to every story 
I’d like to understand what was going through your mind  
At that particular moment in time  
When you decided you didn’t want me in your life  
Or to take mum as your lawfully wedded wife 
 
Chorus 
I cry oh I cry 
Even when I tell myself I’ll get by 
I try oh I try 
Not to ask the question XXX
