You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, you don’t cry
  
   You hear me knocking at your door
   Why don’t you open it, don’t be a fool
   I know that you’re feelin’ blue
  
   I guess you’ve never felt before
   You’re starin’ at your white, white wall
   And nothing’s like it was last night
  
   I guess you’ve never felt before
   You’re strain’ at your white, white wall
   And nothing’s like it was last night
  
   You won’t be, won’t be half a man
   Mmmh mmmh, mmmh
   Feelin’ blue, feelin’ blue
  
   You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, you don’t cry
  
   You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, you don’t cry
  
   Preserve the pearl and you’ll fall deep down
   If you cannot swim you have to drown
   In the world a sea, a sea so blue
  
   So take my hand and free yourself
   Just let go there’s nothing else
   You need as much as trusting arms boy
  
   You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, you don’t cry
  
   You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, you don’t cry
  
   You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, you don’t cry
  
   You won’t be half a man if you cry
   So cry-y-y-y-y-y
   But you don’t cry, don’t cry
  
   You don’t cry, you don’t cry, you don’t cry
   Don’t cry
   You don’t cry, cry-y-y-y-y-y
   Don’t cry, cry
