Boy George - The Crying Game

The original version of this song is quite old. It has actually been written in the far away 1964 by Geoff Stephens and released within the same year by Dave Berry. Even then the song managed to reach number 5 on the UK Singles chart. It was later recorded once more in 1965 by Brenda Lee and of course the cover by Boy George which made in 1992. The last cover climbed to the very top of the charts in Canada and made it to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the USA. The song was also used in all of its versions as a soundtrack to the 1992 movie of the same name. Give this one a listen and feel it bring you back to the 90s.

Lyrics:

I know all there is to know, about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses
Then there are sighs
And then before you know where you are, you're saying goodbye

One day soon, I'm gonna tell the moon, about the crying game
And if he knows, maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches (Heartaches)
Why there are tears (So sad)
And what to do, to stop feeling blue, when love disappears

First there are kisses (Kisses)
Then there are sighs (So sad)
And then before, you know where you are, you're saying goodbye

Don't want no more, of the crying game (Don't want no more)
Don't want no more, of the crying game (Don't want no more)
Don't want no more, of the crying game (Don't want no more)
Don't want no more, of the crying game
Aaahhh
