Another great choice and another brilliant song of your Dad's.
I love the different feel you've gone for with the music, too.
Favorite track: Sometimes She Cries - Warrant (Cover).
Sometimes we cry, and that's okay. My dad wrote this song about a girl who has loved and lost, and is now questioning her worth, beauty, and existence. I've been this girl plenty of times, so I resonated with this song a lot.
We wanted to put a modern twist on this heartfelt rock ballad and juxtapose the lyrics with a bouncy and upbeat track to give the song an overall sense of hope and resilience.
I'm so happy to release this as another part of this collection of Warrant covers I've done over the years, and I hope you enjoy!

LYRICS
Missy don't think she's pretty no more,
Starin' at the stars through her back screen door,
She tries and tries to make it all work out,
No matter what she does,
She's left standin' in the middle of doubt
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me
Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why
Missy don't have a lover no more,
Plays with her pillow,
Stares at the bedroom floor,
Used to have a million,
They've come and gone,
No matter what she does,
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me
Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
Livin', lovin', givin' everything you've got,
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
After all the heartache,
Maybe give love just one more shot, yeah
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why
