BIG BOYS DON’T CRY

(I gotta) taste the fruits of all my lovers

(I wanna) fly to NOLA see my brother, baby

Who got up under you and I?

Chipped my shoulder two times

Swallow my pride but big boys don't cry

Falling to the pavement, Think I moved on dontchu know I'm bracing?

For the impact dontchu know it's never like that? (uh well)

I guess we'll move our own ways

(But I gotta say)

That boys don't cry when the bricks are falling

Masochist minds love a big explosion

1 for the big explosion, 2 for the show

Got my ten toes down when I hit the floor

(I gotta)

I let em know, let em know,

Not a shell of a man I done reaped what I sowed

I let em know, let em know,

That the pain worth more than the silver and gold

To be a man without his power, To be a man without his gun

And from the rubble I rise I'm taking the time to be the one I told ya

(So don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)

Big boys don't cry

Falling to the pavement, Think I moved on dontchu know I'm bracing?

For the impact dontchu know it's never like that? (uh well)

I guess we'll move our own ways

(But I gotta say)

(So don't cry, don't cry, don't cry)

So taste the sweet pride

(Oh baby)

How I'm supposed to cry

Someone broke ur wings this time (don't cry)

Foundations of a man take time (don't cry)

So who gone save ya from the birds eye

I'll jump for my life but boys don't cry

Falling to the pavement, Think I moved on dontchu know I'm bracing?

For the impact dontchu know it's never like that? (uh well)

I guess we'll move our own ways

(But I gotta say)
