I Won't Cry Over You Lyrics - Ellis Paul

Maggie looks out her window, 

Sees a cab in the street 

Lets out a point-blank whistle, 

It stops with a screech 

She picks up the last box, 

That sits in the corner 

She turns around to take 

A mental photograph 

She says to herself, 

"i think a toast is in order," 

And she holds up 

An invisible wine glass 

(chorus) 

"here's to the fool I was 

Here's to the bride I could never be 

I've gotta know what's truth and what's fiction 

I gotta feel like my love's got conviction 

So tell me truth 

'cause I got me suspicions 

And I tell you if it's the last thing I do 

I won't cry over you . . . " 

Maggie sits in the kitchen 

Of miss bethany jones 

Whose pouring the coffee 

And gathering stones 

"you gave him ultimatums 

They did not even scare him 

He'd walk a plank 

Before he'd step down the aisle 

Take care of yourself, girl 

He's the one who's gotta change him 

Let him ponder bachelorhood for a long while" 

(chorus) 

'cause I'm done with that 

I'm done with crying 

Seems like it's the only thing 

That I've been trying 

They're taking it down 

To the heart of the matter 

Talking the big picture 

Like it's a little tiny thing 

Smaller than a bread box 

Thinner than a whisker 

They split like an atom 

Then the telephone rings 

He says, 

(chorus) 

"i just had to call you 

I feel like I've been spinning my wheels 

I just had to tell you how I feel 

I'm not asking you to 

If only you'd listen 

Don't cry "
