Sometimes things can get crazy 
But that's no reason to go run and hide 
I haven't heard from you lately 
The days and nights just keep passing on 

Well I guess that it's over 
But I have no fear in letting go 
I gotta look to the future 
It's time to face the music 
And make it on my own so 

[Chorus] 
Don't cry for me baby 
I'm operating on a natural high 
Don't you cry for me baby 
The past is over so kiss it goodbye 

Don't you stand in my shadow 
Cause when you do I take it personal 
I guess it's time to let you go 
Can't sit here waiting for a miracle 

I got to get a reaction 
Communication seems to be a no 
What happened to the attraction 
If I don't get an answer 
I think I better go so, 

[Chorus]
 
Don't you cry for me 
Don't shed a tear for me 
I'm gonna be alright 
Don't you cry for me 
I'm not in misery 
I can't wait 

I'm gonna have me a good time 

[Chorus]
 
So dry your eyes, no need to cry, no time for sad goodbyes 
It's time to go, nothing to show, so baby don't you cry
