Big Boys Don’t Cry

[Verse 1]
When I was a toddler and sat on your knee
You would kiss all my teardrops away so tenderly
I'd get hurt and a tear would well up in my eye
Then you'd hold me and tell me that big boys don't cry

[Chorus 1]
Oh mama, oh mama
Who told you that lie?
Whoever told you
That big boys don't cry?

[Verse 2]
So the years walked beside me and soon I was tall
Kept the hurt locked inside me, never shared a tear at all
I believed all you told me and never asked why
And I always remembered that big boys don't cry

[Chorus 2]
Oh mama, oh mama
They told you a lie
Whoever told you
That big boys don't cry?

[Verse 3]
From out of the nowhere, like an angel she came
I fell for her kisses and I gave to her my name
She hugged me, caressed me, then told me goodbye
Mama don't let them tell you that big boys don't cry

[Chorus 3]
Oh mama, oh mama
She told me goodbye
Don't let them tell you
That big boys don't cry
