You see, I'm a real man,
and if you say goodbye
you must understand
why there's no tears in my eye

I could ask you to stay.
beg you not to go.
But that's not my way,
though I do love you so.

My feelings run deep,
and my pain I hide.
Your love I want to keep,
now I'm crying inside.

So, maybe you better leave.
Just walk out that door,
if you really believe,
that I don't love you any more.

But don't look back at me,
when you say goodbye,
or you just might see,
...a real man cry

Now real men don't cry,
they just die.
That's what I'll do today,
if you leave me this way.

Cause it will break my heart,
if we were to part.
And I'm crying inside,
...cause real men don't cry.
