To See a Grown Man Cry

I told your momma, I told your friends

but they didn't want to know.

I told the doctor, I told the preacher

that I'd have to let you go.

and now I `fessed up, and finally told you,

that we'd have to say goodbye,

and it hurts, Oh how it hurts,

to see a grown man cry.

I tried to write it in a letter

and I placed it on your door.

I called you up on the phone and left a message

that I won't be around no more

and now I looked you in the eye and finally told you

this time, it's no lie,

and it hurts, oh how it hurts,

to see a grown man cry.

It breaks my heart to tell you,

that I have to go.

I guess I just never realized how much you love me so.

I tried to tell it to a stranger,

but he didn't want to know.

I knew I had to talk to somebody,

but there was no place left to go,

and so I `fessed up , and finally told you

that we'd have to say goodbye

and it hurts, oh how it hurts,

to see a grown man cry.
