When she left me, she thought that I was hurting
She heard that I been crying to her friends
But the truth is I just got a new job acting
So any tear that rolls my cheek is just pretend
I gotta role in some romantic movie
A broken hearted man unlike myself
Well it's hard for me to relate
So I practice night and day
And that's why I've been crying oh so well
I'm not crying over you,
I'm not crying over you,
You might think so, but you're wrong
No that feeling's dead and gone
This crying is just a role I'm working on
Well she said she saw me weeping in a bar room
She said she saw me sobbing all alone
But if she knew the truth about my crying
She'd pack her things and come back to our home
Because I got a roll in some romantic movie,
A broken hearted man I unlike myself
Now she'll see me on the screen and take back everything
She'll come back to the man that treats her well
I'm not crying over you,
I'm not crying over you,
You might think so, but you're wrong
No that feeling's dead and gone
This crying is just a role I'm working on
Yes this crying is just a role I'm working on
