Billy is crying and hundreds of people surround him Billy is crying and evryone around him is smiling He knows he should be out there laughing with them But he just can't force a smile upon his face He tries so hard and wants so much but today he can't adjust He doesn't want to hurt her but he knows that he does Cry on, cry on little Billy Billy is crying but it doesn't keep the sun from shining Billy is crying but it doesn't keep the band from trying And all the songs keep spinning through his head And he'd loved to sing along, but it's just that Rotten kind of feeling makes the words stuck in his throat He knows she's out there somewhere crying on her own Cry on, cry on little Billy
