Joe Jackson - Trying To Cry lyrics

See the guy in the corner The one who's drinking another gla** There's a look in his eye That i've seen so many times in the past I've seen it in the mirror And i've seen it in my friends When we realize we've lost ourselves And we try to make amends He'll drink another two or three And the room will start to spin Then he'll try to let the feelings show But he'll find he can't give in You remember what your brother said Remember what your brother said "i'll tell the whole cla** if i see you" You remember what your mother said Remember what your mother said "never be a man if you do" See the guy in the corner Putting out another cigarette Maybe someone is dying From something that they can't cure yet Maybe a lover is cheating Maybe a lover just left But something's gone, maybe forever And it's something that he can't forget You remember what your brother said
