"Boys Don't Cry" lyrics - BRANDI CARLILE

I know you're scared and
I know you're afraid.
Hey I know you worry about
What you're going to say.

When it all goes down
Catch you looking around,
Yeah well no one's watching,
Your tears hit the ground.

That's when you say,
Oh boys don't cry,
No boys don't lose
Boys don't fall for girls like you.

Yeah boys don't cry,
No boys don't dance
Boys don't ask
For one more chance.
I said boys don't cry
Yeah well I'm still young
But I've been taught
To stand up straight
Yeah take a shot
Oh why I'm not awake.
I swear I'm strong
Yeah and I can fake
And still be wrong.

That's when you say,
Oh no, boys don't cry
No boys don't lose
And boys don't fall
For girls like you.
No boys don't cry
I said boys don't dance,
Boys don't ask
For one more chance.
No boys don't cry.
So boys don't cry.

This is what my daddy told me
Makes a man.
Open up your eyes,
Your only inner sense.
So boys don't cry
When their heroes die.
Their hands are strong,
They're never wrong,
Snakes and snails
And puppy dog tails,
GI Joes,
Cowboy shows.

Boys don't cry,
Boys don't lose,
Boys don't fall
For girls like you.

I said boys don't cry,
Boys don't dance,
Boys don't ask for one more chance.
Yeah, give me one more chance.
Boys don't cry.
