Royal billy joe she don't cry like she used to lyrics

She's got a new look on her face

I only wish it mean't good news

For something's missing from her embrace

And my heart is aching and I'm shaking in my shoes



She don't cry like she used to

She no longer walks the floor

She don't ask me where I'm going

When I'm going out the door

She don't worry, wait or wonder

Like she's always done before

She don't cry like she used to anymore

She don't cry like she used to anymore



If only she would hold me in her arms tonight

And tell me how her heart aches when I'm gone

Even if she'd scold me for staying out all night

At least, I'd know that she still cares enough to carry on



But she don't cry like she used to

She no longer walks the floor

She don't ask me where I'm going

When I'm going out the door

She don't worry, wait or wonder

Like she's always done before

She don't cry like she used to anymore

She don't cry like she used to anymore



Now I'm the one who's breaking down

The one who walks the floor

She don't cry like she used to anymore

She don't cry like she used to anymore
