Jones, Grace - Cry Now, Laugh Later Lyrics






Cry now, Laugh later.

It's time now to return the favor,
Cry now, laugh laugh later.

I don't know why I'm laughing,
I'm still wet from the rain,
I don't know why I'm laughing,
I'm still spotted from the stain.

I don't know why I'm laughing,
I'm burning from the flame,
I don't know why I'm laughing,
Theres a storm running through my veins.

Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, laugh later,
Sign out, I'll see you later,
Time now to return the favor.

You know I ain't lying,
Its so unreal on the other side,
I'll tell you why I'm crying,
Dad's ten grand on a 4 wheel drive,
I thought they wanted money,
Two thieves as they were passing by,
They tied me up so lonely,
And took the car out from under my eyes.

Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, I'll get you later,
I'm just too tired now to return the favor,
Cry now laugh later.

I don't know why I'm laughing,
Immigration breathing down my back,
Ain't got no money for a pay off,
Stay in jail until they send me back,
I don't know why I'm laughing,
I'm still hurting from the pain,
A foreigner in this hell hole,
He ain't never gunna touch me again.

Cry now, laugh later,
It's time now to return the favor,
You're got me crying now,
I'll laugh at you later,
Time now to return the favor.

I don't know why I'm laughing,
I'm still wet from the rain,
I don't know why I'm crying,
I'm still spotted from the stain.

You know I ain't lying,
I'm burning burning up from the flame,
I don't know why I'm laughing,
I've got the storm running through my veins.

Cry now, laugh later,
Baby got to sign out return later,
Just too tired now to return the favor.

Cry now, laugh later...

    Grace riding a ruff n' tuff rhythm. Still bad as it wants to be.

    C.... B....

    Top of her game! The single beats all accolades!

    C.... B....

    This sounds like NewJackSwing, a style of R&B-dance-pop that become huge in the late 80s and early 90s.

  23. S.... W....
