A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry

Now she is gone, my heart is yearnin'

Her love is cold, but mine keeps burnin'

All my eyes could weep, but I've gotta keep them dry

'Cause a man ain't supposed to cry

The days are long, the nights are madness

Where there was joy, now there is sadness

Torment and despair, they refused to pass me by

And a man ain't supposed to cry

Caught in a romance that never could be

Lost in a hopeless affair

Slave to her kiss, will I ever be free?

I'd run away but where

Each yesterday comes back to haunt me

The love I'd lost will ever taunt me

Woman's right to tears will be her's until she'll die

But a man ain't supposed to cry

Slave to her kiss, will I ever be free?

I'd run away but where

Each yesterday comes back to haunt me

The love I'd lost will ever taunt me

Woman's right to tears will be her's until she'll die

But a man ain't supposed to cry

But a man ain't supposed to cry
