Go On And Cry

(album: We Go A Long Way Back - 1982)

Ladies
I wanna bring something to your attention
Something that you've probably overlooked
And that is
A man can hurt
Just as hard and deep as you can
You see, I had a lady in the past
To hurt me real bad
And I needed someone to talk to in a very serious way
So I went to the best friend I had
And that's my mother, and she said...
Cry...
You go on and...

Go on and cry, my son
Cry 'til your tears are done
I know it's hard for you to see
That it really wasn't meant to be
But you'll find love again
Maybe the next time you'll win

So go on and fall apart
I know she broke your heart
You gave her all that you could
So let this be understood
'Cause things didn't work out as planned
Doesn't make you less of a man

So go on and cry
(You go on and cry)
Go on and cry
(You go on and cry)
Go on and cry
(You go on and cry)
Go on and cry
(You go on and cry)
Go on and cry
(You go on and cry)
Go on and cry
(You go on and)

Go on and cry, my son
Cry 'til your tears are done
Go on and cry for now
Things will work out somehow
You'll find love again
Maybe the next time you'll win
(Maybe the next time you'll win)

Go on and cry
(You go on and cry...)
Go on and cry, my son...

Go on...
You see I never will forget that moment
When my mother turned to me and she said
Son, if you feel it in your soul
And if you feel it in your heart
Go on and cry
Just because things didn't work out as planned
Doesn't make you any less of a man
So go on and cry
Let it out
Let it out
Let it all out
Yeah yeah...
(You go on and cry...)
Go on and cry...
