I took her out on the town
The first time we'd ever gone out
We had a good time drinking whisky and wine
And talking for hours on end
And then the dancing began
I held her tight in my hands
With her head on my shoulder
She quivered and shuddered
I asked her why she was sad
She turned away and then said
I don't cry anymore
You'll never feel a tear upon your shoulder
I was mistreated and sometimes was cheated
My heart's behind a closed door
And I don't cry anymore
I reached out and took her hand
And told her she need not pretend
If she needs a shoulder I'd listen and hold her
With me she can open her heart
So, lady give me a chance
Your heart is safe in my hands
I'll stand beside you, protect you and guide you
If only you let me come in
But then she said it again
I don't cry anymore
You'll never feel a tear upon your shoulder
I was mistreated and sometimes was cheated
My heart's behind a closed door
And I don't cry anymore
She's had too many times in the past
Where she gave her heart, but it didn't last
True love is something she wants but may never find
If she keeps her feelings locked deep inside
I may never reach her before it's time
When I must move down the road
I can't handle this heavy load
But now that I'm finally gone, I still hear her say
I don't cry anymore
You'll never feel a tear upon your shoulder
I was mistreated and sometimes was cheated
My heart's behind a closed door
And I don't cry anymore
Don't look for me anymore
My heart's behind a closed door
Cause I don't cry anymore.
