Before I Cry

[Verse 1: Lady Gaga]
I can't believe the things you said
Right now I wish that you would try
Try to stay near me
Try to be near me
Before I cry
‘Cause I'm gonna need a well
To catch the pain and lift the spell
Like you won't hear me
Can you try and heal me
Before I cry.

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
Hurry up, hurry up
Before I lose you
Hurry up, hurry up
Before you lose me too
Hurry up, hurry up
Before I change my mind.

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
'Cause I'm gonna cry
If you say you don't need me
I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care
Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it
Why don't you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry.

[Verse 2: Lady Gaga]
Could you please find another way?
I start to think I'm insane
Trying to stay here
Let me just lay here
Before I cry.

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
Hurry up, hurry up
Before I lose you
Hurry up, hurry up
Before you lose me too
Hurry up, hurry up
Before I change my mind.

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
'Cause I'm gonna cry
If you say you don't need me
I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care
Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it
Why don't you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry.

[Bridge: Lady Gaga]
I'm 'bout to lose it
Is that so confusing?
Am I just repeating myself?
Say something loving to me before I crumble
Tell me, tell me, tell me.

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
'Cause I'm gonna cry
If you say you don't need me
I'm gonna cry if you act like you don't care
Promise me, baby, you know I can't fake it
Why don't you hold me?
Tell me you love me
Before I cry
Before I cry.

[Outro: Lady Gaga]
Have I said what I needed to say?
Have you said what you wanted to say?
Did you say what you wanted to say?
Would you try and stop me before I cry?
