Composer: Feloney Davis

They say that a man ain’t supposed to cry
But baby, your tears I’ll cry
PA, let’s sing

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry, cry (Baby, mmm, hmm)
They say a man ain’t supposed to cry, cry (That’s what they told me)
They say a man ain’t supposed to cry, cry (Do you believe that, baby)
They say a man ain’t supposed to cry, cry (Mmm...listen)

Reachin’ out with all my might
‘Cause I feel all the pain that you’re goin’ through, baby
You need a man with sympathy one like me
Don’t mind cryin’ when you’re feelin’ blue, lady

I’ve got your front when times are good
And your back when they’re bad, girl, you don’t have to worry
Let me work this out with you, don’t have to boo-hoo
‘Cause I’m the type of man that’ll cry for you, yes, I will

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry (Mmm, hmm)
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (I’ll cry you tears)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through (I feel the pain)
And I’m not afraid to say how can I help you, baby (I’m not afraid to say, baby)

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry (Whatever you want me to do, baby)
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (I’ll do it for you)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through (So sorry, baby)
And I’m not afraid to say how can I help you, baby

Precious love, one of all kind
You’re the secret to my heart
It needs for you, it fiends for you
What’s kind of different is that it bleeds for you

I’ve gotta let you know I’m bein’ real to you, babe
You’ll see a tear you know that I cried for you, baby
I don’t worry ‘bout what no man has made
You got a strong man when he’ll cry a tear or two for you, yeah, yes, woo...

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (Whatever you want, baby, I’m standin’ right here)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through (I feel your pain, I feel your pain)
And I’m not afraid to say how can I help you, baby
(Baby, I see what you’re goin’ through, yes)

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry (Ain’t supposed to cry)
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (Can you imagine that, I can’t imagine that)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through (Baby, hell, no, hell, no)
And I’m not afraid to say how can I help you, baby (PA, help me sing this)

When a man can reach down inside (Way down)
And pull his emotions out with no lie (Mmm, hmm)
How many women out there understand
Just what goes on inside a real man (Real man)
Stayin’ true to all his values (Values)
And principles (Principles) he learned long ago (Do you know what I’m talkin’ about)
Respectin’ that of a woman (Respectin’ all women)
Lettin’ her know he’ll cry a tear or two
(Lettin’ them know there ain’t a damn thing you won’t do, no)

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (I’ll cry your tears, baby)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through
(I feel all of your pain, I feel all of your pain, baby, ooh...)
And I’m not afraid to say how can I help you, baby

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry (They say that we ain’t supposed to cry)
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (But I’ll cry at the drop of a hat for you)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through (Boo-hoo, baby, boo-hoo)
And I’m not afraid to say how can I help you, baby
(Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo, baby, do you hear me cryin’)

They say a man ain’t supposed to cry (My heart belongs to you, baby)
But through my eyes I’ll cry you tears (My soul belongs to you, baby)
‘Cause I feel the pain that you’re goin’ through
