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)
