Lyrics
Tough Guys
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sound of thunder crashed down the alleyway
Who can remember the last time it rained?
As you pushed through the crowd
Into the mean streets of town
There was something I needed to explain
You accuse my of having a heart that was made of stone
I'm hard on the outside, that's how I survive
But, baby, deep in my soul
Is where you had complete control
But you'll never see a teardrop in my eye
Don't ask why
'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry
The world's greatest lie
Is that all of us tough guys don't cry
It's three thirty-seven, just me and my empty glass
My vision is blurred, it's so hard to see
Was I really so blind?
Was I out of my mind?
But you'll never hear my apology
Don't ask why
'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry
The world's greatest lie
Is that all of us tough guys don't cry
I'm a tough guy on the outside, yeah
And I'm cryin' on the inside
Hear me cry
Don't ask why
'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry
The world's greatest lie
Is that all of us tough guys don't cry
You know all of us tough guys don't cry
Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry
Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry
Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry
