I done had money I done been broke I done been talked about something awful Done been lied on by so many folks I done even been depressed at times And didn't want to cry cause my pride was too strong But over the years I thought it over And after struggling for so long and still holding on I figured, can't be nothing all that wrong with crying If anybody says that they're that strong they're lying See crying is like taking you soul to the Laundromat It's like the feelings that you get When you see your Grand-mama smile Or the heavens open up and blessing rain down Go on child and cry Go on child and cry, cry, cry
We can cry together See I done been a player I done been played I done been went for the some of the oldest tricks From some of the coldest chicks God done ever made Said I done even had a venereal disease And didn't want to go to the clinic, all that attention embarra**ing me But over the years I've learned to understand That I don't really give a damn what nobody say, I'm a man and we cry We can cry, we can cry, we can cry together Talkin' bout wo wo wo yea yea yea They say a man ain't supposed to cry but I know, know, know Fasho' sho', sho' That even men go through problems sometime cry
