Lyrics

VERSE
You thought you found him; I hear you; I get it
Your hard-earned ticket to love was a custom-tailored fit
You were both off and running down the track, lickety-split
So when the love pulled up lame; it was hard to miss

PRE-CHORUS
Now you’re thinkin’ you don’t know what to do
But I think I know, so please hear me out

CHORUS
You’ve just got to cry and try again
Sometimes you’ve got to lose before you can win
And since you want to go back exactly where you’ve been
You’ve just got to cry and try again

VERSE
The crying will take a little while, but you’ll stop
Pretty soon, there won’t be another single teardrop
You gotta believe you’ll come out right back on top
So the last thing you want to do right now is close up shop

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Now I just need to tell you one more thing
If you’re thinkin’ as friends we wouldn’t work
Think again; we’d get past that in a minute
So don’t be too surprised when I walk your way

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Yes, since you want to go back exactly where you’ve been
You’ve just got to cry and try again
