Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jack still cries day and night Jack's not happy with his life He wanna do this, he wanna do that He wanna be kind but ends up flat For love For love [Pre-Chorus] He tries so hard to give a lot He wants to be what he is not But love's not harsh, and love's not bad But what's he's doin' for love is so sad He wants to be so bad He wants to be so bad [Chorus] All the time gettin' in Thinks he can't get out Somethin' deep inside of him Eatin' up the pride of him That makes him buy things for the girls [Post-Chorus] That's what you get for being polite For being polite [Verse 2] Jack still sits, all alone He lives the world that is his own He's lost in thought, of who to be I wish to God that he would see Just love Give him love [Pre-Chorus] He tries so hard to give a lot He wants to be what he is not But love's not harsh and love's not bad But what's he's doin' for love is so sad He wants to be so bad He wants to be so bad [Chorus] All the time gettin' in Things he can't get out Somethin' deep inside of him Eatin' up the pride of him That makes him buy things for the girls [Post-Chorus] That's what you get for being polite For being polite [Outro] (Jack's still) Tryna make you happy, but (Jack's still) Tryna make you happy, but (Jack's still) Tryna make you happy, but it's love But it's love (Jack's still) Tryna make, but don't you know he cries (Jack's still) But don't you know he's scared, ooh (Jack's still) It's often for his love It's for his love Don't you know he often cries about you He cries about me He cries about you (You) and me (And me) And every little thing that's in his way He cries about me He cries about you (You) and me (And me) He knows that he deserves to cry (Jack still) But don't you know he cries (Jack still) But don't ya know he's scared, oooh (Jack still) It's often for his love Yeah, don't ya know (Jack still) Don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know (Jack still) Don't ya know, don't ya know, don't ya know (Jack still) He cries, he cries because there is no life of love Don't ya know, it's often Don't you know, Jack might Don't you know, yeah, ooh Don't you know
