Lyrics
title- I Don't Cry
1
I looked in her eyes and saw a stranger
a look that I'd never seen before.
The look on her face spelled danger.
I knew she was headin' for the door.
chorus-
Men don't cry. So I didn't cry. When she said,"Goodbye".
2
I went searchin' and found them in the sand.
What went through my mind I cannot say.
I found her in the arms of another man.
I made the choice to just walk away.
chorus-
Men don't cry. So I didn't cry. When I said,"Goodbye".
3
Now, my love is six feet underground.
The prints they found were not mine.
Her new lover cannot be found.
My remaining years I'll question why.
chorus-
Men don't cry. So I didn't cry. When the judge said,"Goodbye".
4
Now, I'm servin' time in San Quientin,
Until life lost is heaven's gain.
Too late I've learned my lesson,
love ain't worth this kind of pain.
chorus-
Men don't cry. So I don't cry. When daylight says,"Goodbye".
Music interluce
chorus-
Real men don't cry. So I don't cry. No I don't cry. But I'm bad to lie.
