Текст песни Cry Like a Man - Dan Penn

Take a look around you
How much longer can you live this way?
Trash on the floor from weeks before
Just gets deeper by the day

Can't let go of that foolish pride
You keep it locked, locked up inside
Time to face the pain
Stand up and cry like a man

There's no one left to blame now, no one
She had her reasons why she had to go
The feelings you hid, the love you couldn't give
Kept her from touchin' your soul

You need to break down that fortress inside
And surrender to the tears in your eyes
You'll never be free, my friend
'Til you cry like a man

There ain't no shame in lettin' teardrops fall
It's a good thing, baby, it's alright
A little rain can make a tree grow tall
You've got to be strong
So stand up and cry like a man

(You can do it)

Cry, cry, cry, baby

You know she's gone for good now
The blanket's torn beyond repair
But there's not a trace of tears on your face
Oughta be some there

Those deep emotions you kept in the dark
If you don't let 'em out
They're gonna freeze your heart
You'll never feel love again
'Til you cry like a man

So stand up and cry
Cry like a man
Stand up and cry
Cry like a man
Stand up and cry
Cry like a man
Cry like a man
Cry like a man

Stand up and cry
Cry like a man
Stand up and cry like a man
