MC Chris - Boys Don't Cry lyrics

I met you on Friendster
Your name was all weird
I feared the worst but the more
I learned it all became clear
You were a female peer
Just a few years younger than I
And you wrote the longest letters
The very best size

You live in London, use slang like prat
You were datin the gym one akin to tight abs
I'd spend the days half tryin
To make you laugh
But you wouldn't write back
Give me some more of that
Well after one week, I knew I was hooked
You'd blush at each key stroke of
X O without gettin one look
At the other side guy his pics might be fake
This type of shit happens every day
I'm no rock star, a clock watchin drone
Whose breath stinks of liquor all
Stoned like lawn gnomes
No girlfriend, no hook ups
Just lovelorn and fucked up
No friend to just vent on
One who'll say all bets off
Concert was cancelled, you answered my e mail
Turns out you're bummed out didn't
Want to give details
A mate had OD'd, I could feel your heart beat
I miss you never met you, X O, mc

Boys don't cry, they prefer ballin
And shot callin, tear drops fallin
I'm jonzin harder than Gollum
Please God say that's London callin

Why you gotta be so far away?
Why do plane tickets gotta cost
An arm and a leg?
Maybe I should save a couple dollars a day
So without delay, I can look at your face
Smell your hair, rest my hand on your neck
Never mind neckin, you know what comes next
I'll buy you a dress at that
Place owned by Dodi Fayed
And give you head every night before bed
But you might not D-IG mc
Might think me too brash or condescending
A sad finish without taking a first step
Can't avoid sayin somethin that I will regret
But I bet that we would hit it off great
I could come to you
Or you could come to the states
Get you a job at MTV, whatever you need
+I'm a Slave 4 U+ like Britney was to JT
Romance is a cruel trick
Play me like school kids
Don't know if I should do this
If I'm stupid or just foolish
Can't help but pursue this despite you
Bein half a world from me
What I wouldn't give to sit and
Sip a cup of tea
While you nibbled on a crumpet
I'd love it indeed sincerely yours, X O mc
