[Verse 1]
Hearing the screams of my mother yell
Looking at dad grab his leather belt
Holding the tears back in my eyes
'Cause he told me that men don't cry

[Chorus]
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Men don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

[Verse 2]
Standing up straight and doing as I’m told
Ringing in my ears all controlled
I look like a girl so he’s cutting my hair
I got to make sure I don’t embarrass him here

[Chorus]
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Men don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

[Verse 3]
I patiently waited 'til I turned 18
Then bought a gun and put my daddy to sleep
Watching the tears roll from his eyes
Whispered to him that men don't cry
[Bridge]
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight

[Instrumental Outro]
