You Don't Have To Cry - New York Dolls

We’ve fallen into time

Left nature behind

It’s all inside our mind

Paradise got left behind

Where we gonna go

Where we gonna stay

What we gonna do

How we gonna find a way to play

Astray in the universe

As we would doubtless be astray anywhere

We go from city to city

Where lights are pretty and

Beautiful people dance around everywhere

Writing poems that lash more fierce

Than the wind that’s blowing the newspapers

Through the square, right here

Time is always just a thief

Disguise itself as grief

Until you’ve abandoned your belief

You, you don’t have to yearn

Or wait for my return

Tears don’t have to burn

Except in solitude

Astray in the universe

As we would doubtless be astray anywhere

You, you don’t have to cry

You can dry your eyes

You don’t have to cry

You can dry your eyes

You don’t have to cry

You don’t have to cry

Let me see you smile
