Boys Don't Cry

[Intro] I met you on Friendster, your name was all weird I feared the worst but the more I learned it all became clear You were a female peer, just a few years younger than I And you wrote the longest letters, the very best size [mc chris] You live in London, use slang like prat You were datin the gym one akin to tight abs I'd spend the days half tryin to make you laugh But you wouldn't write back, give me some more of that Well after one week, I knew I was hooked You'd blush at each key stroke of X O without gettin one look At the other side guy his pics might be fake This type of shit happens every day I'm no rock star, a clock watchin drone Whose breath stinks of liquor all stoned like lawn gnomes No girlfriend, no hook ups, just lovelorn and fucked up No friend to just vent on, one who'll say all bets off Concert was cancelled, you answered my e-mail Turns out you're bummed out didn't want to give details A mate had OD'd, I could feel your heart beat I miss you never met you, X O, mc [Chorus - repeat 2X using voicebox] Boys don't cry, they prefer ballin And shot callin, tear drops fallin I'm jonzin harder than Gollum Please God say that's London callin [mc chris] Why you gotta be so far away? Why do plane tickets gotta cost an arm and a leg? Maybe I should save a couple dollars a day So without delay, I can look at your face Smell your hair, rest my hand on your neck Never mind neckin, you know what comes next I'll buy you a dress at that place owned by Dodi Fayed And give you head every night before bed But you might not D-I-G mc Might think me too brash or condescending A sad finish without taking a first step Can't avoid sayin somethin that I will regret But I bet that we would hit it off great I could come to you, or you could come to the states Get you a job at MTV, whatever you need +I'm a Slave 4 U+ like Britney was to J.T Romance is a cruel trick, play me like school kids Don't know if I should do this if I'm stupid or just foolish Can't help but pursue this despite you bein half a world from me What I wouldn't give to sit and sip a cup of tea While you nibbled on a crumpet, I'd love it indeed Sincerely yours, X O mc... [Chorus] - 2X (and on to fade)
