    Story Behind the Song
    This was pretty interesting because up until we wrote this song, I had never sung a song in this style. I had been doing hard rock up until I recorded this CD. Bill Bentley, my co-writer coached me on it until I got the feel of it. Then I recorded at my house in Van Nuys where I was living at the time. It was about 100 degrees and everytime I would start singing, Pinocchio, the giant dog next door would start barking. The ad libs were making him bark, so it was taking forever, I was dying with the heat and I ran outside screamiing like a nut for the neighbors to put that damned dog in the house so I could finish. They did and I did

    Lyrics
    DON'T COME CRYIN'

    VERSE

    You said you wanna say goodbye
    Now you tell me why
    You think that there's a better life
    The one you've never tried
    Friends tell me what to do
    But they don't live with you
    I know you best

    PRE-CHORUS

    And I know that one day at sunrise it'll dawn
    It'll dawn on you (it'll hit you like a cold morning wind, baby)
    Then it's gonna be, just too late
    To feel, to feel the way we used to

    CHORUS

    DON'T COME, DON'T COME CRYIN'
    Don't you come cryin' to me
    Don't you know
    There won't be nothing left once I'm free

    VERSE

    Why'd you let me step inside
    Your arms so open wide
    If you wouldn't let me stay
    For my whole life
    I'm right here in your hands now
    Oh, but I'm slipping through
    I'm not like the rest, I won't be waiting

    (Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus)
