I Won'T Cry
Why! Of all people
Are you the only one
That can get me to cry?
I promised myself
That I wouldn't cry
Ever again
But then! You made me
Break my promise
Now I feel so weak
But I'll make sure you'll never get me to cry
Now I promise myself that I won't cry
I won't cry
I wont cry!!!
Do you know how embarrassing it is for me
I call myself a man, yet I'm a little boy
If I'm to be a man, then that trait has to go
I'm not going to hold myself back anymore
Yes! I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't anymore
I won't, I won't, I won't
I'll never... I'll make sure I'll never cry again!
If you were to die
I probably would
Breakdown and cry
But that doesn't count
Because I lost
Something precious to me
But I, under no
Circumstance
Will cry ever again
I would rather
Fall down and dow
Than to get on my knees and cry
Now what kind of guy cries and calls himself a man?
I know for a fact that I'm a man
I'm a man
I'm a man!!!
I'm no longer weak like I used to be
You can't get me to cry, no matter what you do to me
This is the first step to becoming a man
I'm not going to hold myself back anymore
Yes! I won't, I won't, I won't, I won't anymore
I won't, I won't, I won't
I'll never... I'll make sure I'll never cry again!
