The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

Groupe : The Cure
Titre : Boys Don't Cry
Album : Boys Don't Cry
Année : 1979

Boys Don't Cry est sans aucun doute une des chansons les plus connues du groupe britannique The Cure. Si ce titre a connu un certain succès en Europe ou même en Australie, il n'a pas eu la reception escomptée dans le pays originaire du groupe. Depuis, Boys Don't Cry a gagné en notoriété et en popularité pour enfin devenir une chanson culte. C'est notamment grâce aux paroles et au riff de guitare qui rend le titre si unique.

Lyrics :

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
