Written by David Kahne, Juliana Hatfield & Susanna Hoffs
Produced by David Kahne
Released on `When You`re A Boy` (1991)

Oh, I`m lonely
But I only seem to need him when he`s not around
Cause he comes up
At the same time that I go down.

Then I give him what he needs
And then he pours it all over me
Everybody, everywhere wants something
What could it be?

That`s why (that`s why) girls cry
That`s why (that`s why, that`s why) girls cry.

Cause the summer
Brings heat and the winter comes and takes it away
Cause I came to work
But the boy only came to play.

Then he gives me what I need
And then I tell him, `Get over me`
Everybody, everywhere wants someone
Who could it be?

That`s why (that`s why) girls cry
That`s why (that`s why, that`s why) girls cry.

I don`t wanna talk about it
I don`t wanna talk about it
Talk and talk and talk and talkin`, ooh
Oooh-waa, oooh-waa, oooh-waa
Talk and talk and talk and talkin`, ooh
Oooh-waa, oooh-waa, oooh-waa.

Why bite the hand that needs you
Why break the heart that bleeds you
Why give my hand, I don`t understand
Why lose a love that almost leads you?

There`s a line in a dream
Where the ocean always meets the sky
If I think real fast
I can make it by the end of the night.

Why can`t I live my love that way
So perfect in every way
I can`t stop this feeling
What could it be?

That`s why (that`s why, that`s why) girls cry
I don`t wanna talk about it
That`s why (that`s why, that`s why) girls cry
I don`t wanna talk about it.

That`s why (that`s why, that`s why) girls cry
I don`t wanna talk about it
That`s why (that`s why, that`s why) girls cry
I don`t wanna talk about it.

I don`t wanna talk about it
I don`t wanna talk about it.
