… I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate

… I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate

… Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throw out your frown
And just smile at the sound
Sleek as a shriek, spinning 'round and 'round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love

… I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Do-do, do-do, do-do, do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do
(Oh, oh, whoa, whoa)

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on, just walk away
Go on, go on, your choice is made
Go on, go on, and disappear
Go on, go on away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back, come back
Don't walk away
Come back, come back
Come back today
Come back, come back
What can't you see?
Come back, come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you, without you
Without you, without you

Official Music video by The Cure performing Boys Don't Cry. Remastered in HD. (C) 1993 Polydor Ltd. (UK)
 
Boys Don’t Cry (86 Mix) is being released digitally and physically for the first time in 40 years.
 
Initially released as a standalone single in the summer of 1979, Boys Don’t Cry became the title track of the US edition of the band’s debut album, Three Imaginary Boys. The song has gone on to become one of the band’s signature tracks and achieved international success in 1986, when Robert Smith re-recorded the vocal and remixed the backing track.
 
Although this new version was created to promote The Cure’s first best-of collection, Standing on a Beach – The Singles, the LP itself featured the original recording.

I WOULD SAY I'M SORRY
IF I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT I KNOW THAT THIS TIME
I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH
BEEN TOO UNKIND
 
I TRIED TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
COVER IT ALL UP WITH LIES
I TRIED TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HIDING THE TEARS IN MY EYES
'CAUSE BOYS DON'T CRY
BOYS DON'T CRY
 
I WOULD BREAK DOWN AT YOUR FEET
AND BEG FORGIVENESS, PLEAD WITH YOU
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S TOO LATE
AND NOW THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
 
SO I TRY TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
COVER IT ALL UP WITH LIES
I TRY TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HIDING THE TEARS IN MY EYES
'CAUSE BOYS DON'T CRY
BOYS DON'T CRY
 
I WOULD TELL YOU THAT I LOVED YOU
IF I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD STAY
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S NO USE
AND YOU'VE ALREADY GONE AWAY
 
MISJUDGED YOUR LIMITS
PUSHED YOU TOO FAR
TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
THOUGHT THAT YOU NEEDED ME MORE, MORE, MORE
 
NOW I WOULD DO MOST ANYTHING
TO GET YOU BACK BY MY SIDE
BUT I JUST KEEP ON LAUGHING
HIDING THE TEARS IN MY EYES
'CAUSE BOYS DON'T CRY
BOYS DON'T CRY
 
BOYS DON'T CRY
