"I Never Cry" is a song by Alice Cooper. It was originally released on his Alice Cooper Goes to Hell album in 1976.

Contents

The song was written by Cooper and Dick Wagner. The song reached number 12 on the US chart in January 1977. On Alice's radio show November 23, 2009 Alice stated that this was his biggest selling single. However, he did not state what source or criterion he was referencing when making this statement. The song was, however, his only gold record in the US besides his comeback hit in 1989, "Poison". The song was written about his drinking problem, which one year later sent the performer into rehab. Cooper called the song "an alcoholic confession".
