Lyrics
You sit there on the couch,
sip ping your scotch and ice.
You turn the T V on
and tune me out a gain.
So what would you say (Eb)to me if you could talk (Ab)to me?
You could ask an (Eb)y thing; I would n’t lie.
But you’re o kay (Eb)with this dam ag ing awk (Ab)ward ness, so I’ll just play (Fm7)it safe and keep it in side.
Boys don’t cry.
I used to hold your hand
so tight there was no ques tion.
But now e ven when you’re near,
I’ve nev er felt so a lone.
So what would you say
Boys don’t cry.
Boys don’t cry,
yeah.
Boys don’t cry.
Boys don’t cry,
yeah.
(Fm)If you just stand be side me,
I’ll keep you in my life.
(Fm)Tell me how much you love me
and I’ll be just fine.
Don’t be
a (Eb)fraid of me.
So what would you say (Eb)to me if you could talk (Ab)to me?
You could ask an (Eb)y thing; I would n’t lie.
But you’re o kay (Eb)with this dam ag ing awk (Ab)ward ness, so I’ll just play (Fm7)it safe and keep it in side.
Boys don’t cry.
Boys don’t cry,
yeah.
Hey aye,
hey aye,
hey aye,
hey aye
aye aye.
