When A Man Cries

Scene from "Glee"


When a man cries what is a woman suppose to do?
A good woman looks him in his eyes and says “I love you”
To her it should never be at arm’s length
For a good woman knows the secret to that man’s strength

When a man cries a good woman always stands by his side
She will never conjure up condescending sighs
A good woman always knows just what to say
But wisdom always tells her “Save it for another day”

When a man cries she never gives it the old college try
Other women scratch their head and ask themselves why?
A good woman knows his tears are rooted in the depths of pain
That’s why she never nuances the moment as opportunity for gain

When a man cries she never needs to know the reason why
A good woman is ready to wipe every tear from his eyes
Why? Because a good woman knows who she is
A wife, lover, friend – a woman with so much to give

When a man cries it doesn’t make him any less a man
As a matter of fact, that’s what a good woman understands
When a man cries it’s the window washing of his soul
Making plain and visible the secrets troubling his soul

When a man cries a good woman knows something’s wrong
That’s why a woman like her hangs in there for so long
A good woman knows how to make herself a good man
She lets him cry in open arms and extended hands

When a man cries he knows he’s got himself a good woman
She does things for him no other woman should and wouldn’t
That’s why it’s good for every man to let himself cry
Because a good woman is someone a man who cries can’t buy

When a man cries…
