You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, you don't cry

You hear me knocking at your door
Why don't you open it, don't be a fool
I know that you're feelin' blue

I guess you've never felt before
You're starin' at your white, white wall
And nothing's like it was last night

I guess you've never felt before
You're strain' at your white, white wall
And nothing's like it was last night

You won't be, won't be half a man
Mmmh mmmh, mmmh
Feelin' blue, feelin' blue

You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, you don't cry

You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, you don't cry

Preserve the pearl and you'll fall deep down
If you cannot swim you have to drown
In the world a sea, a sea so blue

So take my hand and free yourself
Just let go there's nothing else
You need as much as trusting arms boy

You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, you don't cry

You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, you don't cry

You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, you don't cry

You won't be half a man if you cry
So cry-why-why-why-why-why
But you don't cry, don't cry

You don't cry, you don't cry, you don't cry
Don't cry
You don't cry, cry-why-why-why-why-why
Don't cry, cry
