The Monkees While I Cry song lyrics

They told me what you'd do

If I ever stayed with you.

They told me that you'd laugh

While I cried.

They told me what you'd say

That you'd turn and walk away

And find another place to play,

While I cried.

Now I think back on those times

I didn't read between the lines.

How all the things that you said

Never seemed to match the things you did.

Thoughts keep turning round in my mind

Now I see reason and rhyme.

Time spent with you has brought me something

And I've lost nothing If you are that kind.

They told me what you'd do

If I ever stayed with you

And sure enough,

It all came true.
