You Don’t Have To Be Strong

[Intro]
Ooh, yeah yeah
Listen to me, baby

[Verse 1]
You've always been there for me
I have a shoulder to cry on
Whenever I call you come running
That's something I can rely on
I can see, I can see the pain in your eyes
You think a man's supposed to hide, what he's feeling inside
But you're wrong

[Chorus]
You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be so proud with me
You don't have to be a rock
Standin' out there like an island all alone
You don't have to be strong

[Verse 2]
I ain't gonna think less of you, baby
And you know that's for sure
If the tears roll down your cheek
It'll only make me love you more
You're still a man, still my man, a man in my eyes
Let me be there for you, like you've been there for me
All along

[Chorus]
You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be so proud with me
You don't have to be a rock
Standin' out there like an island all alone
You don't have to be strong
No you don't

[Bridge]
I know you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders
So, come over here
Baby, just let me hold ya
Let me hold ya

[Chorus]
You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be such a proud man with me
You can let it all out
That's why I'm here, that's what this love is all about
You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be so proud with me
You don't have to be a rock
Standing out there like an island all alone
You don't have to be strong
Just let me be strong for you
This time
