lyrics

In the middle of the night In the middle of a dream
In the silence of the dark You can hear them scream
Big Boys don’t cry they live a lie
They’re crying inside
Big Boys don’t cry
No one ever sees the big boys cry
They cry all the time

Mother gave them welts Every time they cried
Whenever they felt Something inside
That is how my friend the little boy died
But the big boy’s alive
Big Boys don’t cry
No one ever sees the big boys cry
Big Boys don’t cry

Waiting in the wings or she’s lying in wait
Never really clear if she’s sinner or saint
There is no difference between her love and her hate

Big boys don’t cry
Oooh you know they don’t cry They cry all the time
No one ever sees the big boys cry
Big Boys don’t cry

Big Boys don’t cry
Do you wanna see a grown man cry?
They’re crying inside
Big Boys don’t cry
Big Boys don’t cry
Mmmm ooh ooh ooh
