Got a call from a friend to pick her up tonight
A really good friend, a really good person
Got tangled up with a really bad guy
As she stepped into my car
As the tears fell down like rain
And the whimpers came
Just thought would I should say
I'm never gonna make you cry
I couldn't take that
Though I know you'd still look so beautiful
I'm never gonna make you cry
I couldn't take that
No I don't wanna know what it feels like
So I'm never gonna make you cry
As we drove through town the silence hard to break
Guess it was bad night, didn't seem right
So at the light closed my eyes and thought of what I'd prayed
If you knew what you were worth
Then a loser couldn't hurt
Why settle for dirt
When a guy with a million dollars'd give ya his last shirt
I'm never gonna make you cry
I couldn't take that
Though I know you'd still look so beautiful
I'm never gonna make you cry
I couldn't take that
No I don't wanna know what it feels like
So I'm never gonna make you cry
I wouldn't sing these words so loud if I wasn't so proud
Just say the word and now let me make my vow
I'm never gonna make you cry
I couldn't take that
Though I know you'd still look so beautiful
I'm never gonna make you cry
I couldn't take that
Oh you'll never know what it feels like
Cuz I'm never gonna make you cry
I'm never gonna make you cry
I'm never gonna make you cry
