Midnight, lay my head on my pillow 
Listen to the screamin', man he's cussin' her like a dog 
I live in 201, they're in 202 
I say a little prayer 'cause I've been there and I stayed too long 
I knocked on their door yesterday to see if everything was alright 
He said everything's just fine 
She just likes to cry, she likes to get her way 
There's no reason for you to pry, everything's okay 
These walls are paper thin so if you hear her again 
You'll know the reason why she just likes to cry 
Then today I was lookin' out my window 
Saw their little girl out on the playground on the monkey bars 
So I walked down and saw her bruises 
That's when he walked up, said girl shut up and get in the car 
With tears rollin' down her face she climbed up in that seat 
And he turned and said to me 
She just likes to cry, she likes to get her way 
I told the girl to stay inside but she just had to play 
She's just like her mama causin' drama 
Now you know the reason why she just likes to cry 
I pulled in from work today, police cars parked outside 
I heard him tell the officers as I walked by 
She just likes to cry, she likes to get her way 
I promise you I wouldn't lie, everything's okay 
These walls are paper thin so if someone calls again 
You'll know the reason why she just likes to cry 
She just likes to cry 
So I turned around and put my head down and cried
