Status seekers - I never cared
 Once I found out they never dared
 To seize the world and shake it upside down
 And every stinking bum should wear a crown

 Sayin' I cry for love
 Till all the plates are broken
 Cry for love
 Until my eyes are soakin'
 Yeah cry for love
 On every salmon mornig
 Cry for love
 'cause imitation's boring
 Cry for love

 Bad tv that insults me freely
 Still I know what I'm dyin' to see
 In searching for a meaningful embrace
 Sometimes my self-respect took second place

 An' I cried for love
 I did what my heart told me
 Cried for love
 Can't stand it
 When they scold me
 Yeah I cried for love
 On every salmon morning
 Yeah I cry for love
 'cause imitation's boring
 Cry for love

 Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
 Soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
 If you're cryin' for love well, that's ok don't sweat it
 If you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it
 Cry for love
