Real Men Cry

[Verse 1]
I always thought I was the strong one
Who had the faith when you had doubt
I was the one to hide my feelings
You were the one to let them out
My daddy taught me, "Son, be tough and strong"
That is what I tried to do
But you're telling me, girl, you can't live like this
That you might be leaving soon

[Chorus]
Do real men cry?
I never thought it was true
Maybe I could tough this one out
Be strong enough to make it through
But now there's tears in the eyes
Of this stubborn fool
Do real men cry?
Baby, now you know that real men do

[Verse 2]
I assumed you knew that I would love you
And be your rock through thick and thin
I've always been a man of few words
When what you needed was a friend
I thought if I stood tall just like a wall
It would all be good enough
Please let me hold you now and promise you, girl
That I'm through with acting tough

[Chorus]
Do real men cry?
I never thought it was true
Maybe I could tough this one out
Be strong enough to make it through
But now there's tears in the eyes
Of this stubborn fool
Do real men cry?
Baby, now you know that real men do
Do real men cry?
Well, baby, now you know that real men do
