Cry - Godley & Creme

Cry" is the title of a song released by the British musicians Godley & Creme in 1985. It was included on the duo's album The History Mix Volume 1.
The song peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Godley & Creme's lone Top 40 hit in the US apart from their former band, 10cc. It also reached #12 on the UK Singles Chart.
The duo also directed the song's music video, which featured faces blended into each other using analog cross-fading, anticipating the digital effect of morphing used in a very similar way in Michael Jackson's 1991 video, "Black or White".

LYRICS:
You don't know how to ease my pain
you don't know

You don't know how to ease my pain.
You don't know what the sound is
darling

It's the sound of my tears falling
or is it the rain?
You don't know.
You don't know how to play the game
and you cheat
you lie

You make me wanna cry
you make me wanna cry

Cry
you make me wanna cry.

You don't know how to ease my pain
you don't know

You don't know how to ease my pain.
Don't you hear any voices crying?
That's the sound of our love dying. Here comes the rain.
you don't know how to play the game
and you cheat
you lie

you don't even know how to say good-bye
you make me wanna cry
You don't know.
You don't even know how to say good-bye
you make me wanna cry
you don't even know how to say good-bye
you make me wanna cry
Cry
cry
cry
cry.

@rwk1983 If you hate it so much, then why did you take the time to find this song? And if you found it accidentally, then why did you bother taking the time to write four lines of words about how "awful" it is and not just simply dislike and never come back?

Just curious ...

[rwk1983]

such a weak song to be remembered by OHHHHHHH! WAIT, its the video people remember (and thus the song is remembered mandatory (Honestly, wouldn't this be a lost track if it wasn't for the video???). After listening to an englishman in new york this song makes me wanna cry with its mediocrity.
