Cry

I done had money, I done been broke

I done been talked about something awful

Done been lied on by so many folks

I done even been depressed at times

And didn't wanna cry 'cause my pride was too strong

But over the years I thought it over

And after struggling for so long and still holding on

I figured, can't be nothing all that wrong with crying

If anybody says that they're that strong they're lying

See, crying is like taking your soul to the laundromat

It's like the feeling that you get

When you see your grandmama smile

Or the heavens open up and blessing rain down

Go on, child, and cry, go on and cry, cry, cry

Go on and cry, cry, cry, we can cry together

See, I done been a player, I done been played

I done went for some of the oldest tricks

From some of the coldest chicks God done ever made

Sure gon' hear me, said, I done even had a venereal disease

And didn't wanna go to the clinic, all that attention embarrassing me

But over the years I've learned to understand

That I don't really give a damn what nobody say, I'm a man and we cry

We can cry, we can cry, we can cry together

Talkin' bout whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, they say a man ain't supposed to cry

But I know, know, know, fo' sho' sho', sho'

That even men go through problems some time, talkin' 'bout

Whoa whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, they say a man ain't supposed to cry

But I know, know, know, fo' sho' sho', sho'

That even men go through problems some time

I'm a man, and we cry, oh, oh, oh

Cry
