Don't tell me to stop crying please just hold me while I do   Soothe me with your silence and just cradle me to you   Don't push me for my reasons or expect me to explain   How can I in five minutes shift a lifetime's hidden pain?      Don't tell your girlfriend about me 'cos your girlfriend   won't like girls like me   Don't tell your girlfriend about me    If you just hold me, hold me, hold me....      I went to see a psychic and I paid for good advice   He said "Forget a romance 'til you've sorted out your life.   Be your own mother and your father and your sister and brother,   And even try to crack the art of being your own lover...      Don't tell your girlfriend about me 'cos your girlfriend   won't like girls like me   Don't tell your girlfriend about me    If you just hold me, hold me, hold me....      In my darkest hour you'd be mine, these wildest dreams   are no crime, or are they? Girlfriend   Coming from a place of need, not one of abundance,   You see he told me. Girlfriend      Don't tell me to stop crying, please just hold me while I do   Soothe me with your silence and just cradle me to you   Don't push me for my reasons or expect me to explain   How come I say I'm happy to be on my own again...?      Don't tell your girlfriend about me 'cos your girlfriend   won't like girls like me   Don't tell your girlfriend about me 'cos your girlfriend    won't like girls like me   You don't have to tell your girlfriend about me   If you just hold me, hold me, hold me....
