I'm Not Gonna Cry - Loudon Wainwright III

I’m not gonna cry today, I won’t shed a tear

Even if some milk is spilt, I won’t dilute my beer

I won’t use a tissue, my pillow will stay dry

And I won’t need a shoulder, 'cause I’m not gonna cry

I’m not gonna snivel, and I’m not gonna sob

Both my eyes will remain dry, and I won’t have to dob them

Move me with a tragedy, just go ahead and try

Play me a tearjerker, but I’m not gonna cry

I’m not gonna weep today, I will not wet my cheek

I’ll count to ten and I’ll hold it in, I’m not gonna leak

I’m not gonna lose it, 'though I may wanna die

They say it’s good to let it out, but I’m not gonna cry

I’m not gonna blub today, and I’m not gonna bawl

And I’m not gonna fall apart, even if you call me

I couldn’t cry for forty years, I was too tough a guy

Now I can do it anytime, but I’m not gonna cry

I must have cried a million tears, at least ninety-six

I cried me a river, and an ocean just for kicks

Listen to the thunder, dark clouds fill the sky

Well, it looks like rain and I hear a train, but I’m not gonna cry

Yeah, well, it looks like rain and I hear a train, but I’m not gonna cry
