Sit there and call me
A liar and a cheat
I just wish you'd pin a rose on me
Now you won't even
Come out and take a bow
Cryin' wont help you now
Cryin' wont help you now

(So) Now your poets
Have all put down their pens
The only songs to sing
Are those sung again
Lonely just doesn't
Look good on you somehow
Cryin' wont help you now
Cryin' wont help you now

I just keep on staring
Into the black eyes of the truth
We'll have to learn to live apart somehow
Cryin' wont help you now
Cryin' wont help you now
Cryin' wont help you now
Cryin' wont help you
Help you now

by Danny Kalb (recording engineer) :

"Live in the main room. A lot of fun to watch this go down, Ben's manager JP (Plunier) played drums, and two of his friends played bass and guitar and sang backup vocals. Then his mom and aunt sang some backup vocals too! Ben's live vocal performance floored me."
