about

Winter in Boston’s student ghetto. Women are there, but they’re only warm for others, or themselves. They need you, though, when they need to cry on your shoulder, via the telephone. You’re in the friend zone.

lyrics

You Can Cry - Words and Music Douglas Osborne

Stranded on Jersey Street
icebound with TV and stereo
Georgia and Jenny so sweetly would
tend to their needs so red and slow
Call them and see if they have the time
you know it’s worth your dime

You Can Cry...on the telephone.

Birthday in Kenmore Square
stripped down to wine and pistachios
Berta and MaryAnn were always
talking about their boys
down to the quick and the slow
Call them and see if they have the time
You know it’s worth your dime

You Can Cry...on the telephone.
