She Just Likes to Cry

Midnight
Lay my head on my pillow
Listen to the screaming
Man, he's cussing her like a dog
I live in 201
They're in 202
I say a little prayer cause I've been there
And I stayed too long

I knocked on their door yesterday
To see if everything was alright
He said everything's just fine

[Chorus]
She just likes to cry
She likes to get her way
There's no reason for you to pry
Everything's okay

These walls are paper thin
So if you hear her again
You'll know the reason why
She just likes to cry

Then today
I was looking out my window
Saw their little girl out on the playground
On the monkey bars
So I walked down and saw her bruises

That's when he walked up
Said, "Girl, shut up and get in the car"
With tears rollin' down her face
She climbed up in that seat
And he turned and said to me

[Chorus]
She just likes to cry
She likes to get her way
I told the girl to stay inside
But she just had to play

She's just like her mama
Causin' drama
Now you know the reason why
She just likes to cry

I pulled in from work today
Police cars parked outside
I heard him tell the officers
As I walked by

[Chorus]
She just likes to cry
She likes to get her way
I promise you I wouldn't lie
Everything's okay

These walls are paper thin
So if someone calls again
You'll know the reason why
She just likes to cry
She just likes to cry

So I turned around
And put my head down
