I’ll cry tomorrow Today I have things to get done Too many errands to run Tears can’t unload this washing machine Regret won’t make a house clean Self-pity doesn’t get the kids fed Falling apart won’t get them to bed If you have something to say Just please hold off for today I have too much to do To spend time worrying about you So if it’s my heart you plan to break Break it tomorrow Not now, not today I’ll cry tomorrow
