Cry Like a Man Lyrics by Dan Penn

Do Right Man

0

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Instrumental Break]
Cry, cry, cry, baby
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
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
