Why are these tears in my eyes?
When I know a man
A man ain't supposed to cry

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh (a man ain't supposed to cry)
I know a man (ain't supposed to cry)

Been workin' five days a week (like a man)
I know I dress and I speak (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
But am I (just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby
(Men ain't supposed to cry)

I like good food and wine to drink (like a man)
I like to say just what I think (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
But am I (just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby
(Men ain't supposed to cry)

But many have cried
Yes, man do cry
Tears have been shed by much better men than I
Men have cried in the past
So I know I'm not the first
And I won't be the last

I can accept my tribulation (like a man)
And cope with many a situation (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
But am I (just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby
Ooh baby
(Men ain't supposed to cry)

I can accept my tribulation (like a man)
And cope with many a situation (like a man)
But when my baby said goodbye
I had to break right down and cry
But am I (just a guy)
Just a guy (just a guy) who lost his baby
Hey, baby

One more time
(Men ain't supposed to cry)
