Just Don't Cry.

She’s working four nights a week at a Jiffy Lube
Trying to get gigs and amazing reviews.
She and her bass guitar are taking the subway to stardom and fame,
Only for her dreams to cause her pain.

Don’t cry Daddy.
Mommy, don’t weep.
Don’t hate me too much
The full ride car was just not enough.

I can’t be the girl that you wanted to be.
Suits and fancy things,
My music means the world to me.
You told me that I had to be
Something I never wanted to become…maybe
Did you ever stop to think about my dreams and me?

Don’t cry Daddy.
Mommy, don’t weep.
Don’t hate me too much.
The full ride car was just not enough.

I love you. I love you.
I really do. I just need to do this.
I can’t be your little Barbie anymore,
Because I stopped smiling long before.

I know, I know, I know. I’m throwing my life away.
Please. I’m begging. I have to do this.

Don’t cry, Daddy.
Mommy, don’t weep.
Don’t hate me too much.
The full ride was just not enough.

Spoken(singing rhythm):
The band? They’re great. Yes, I’ll call.
I love you, but my dreams are calling now.
Just don’t cry.
