Well you hide your face

When the teardrops start

'Cause they laugh at you

If you show your heart

They say hurtful words

Oh but it just ain't true

'Cause behind the laughter

They feel just like you

You can

Cry if you want to

Cry if you want to

Cry if you want to

Don't hold it all inside no no

Well they'll never understand

They'll never know

Just how deep are the feelings

That move you so

But there ain't no shame

To show the way you feel

Cause only flesh and blood

So you ain't made of steel

You can

Cry if you want to

It's alright it

Cry if you want to

Cry if you want to

Don't let 'em hurt your pride

Don't let 'em hurt you

Don't let 'em hurt you yeah

Yeah

So go ahead

And let the teardrops flow

Don't you turn away

Don't let them hurt you so

And you can tell them all

That you know it's true

There's gonna come a day

When they'll be cryin' too

You can

Cry if you want to go ahead

Cry if you want to go ahead

Cry if you want to

Don't hold it all inside

Don't you let 'em hurt your pride

Don't you let 'em hurt you

Don't you let 'em hurt you so

You can cry if you want to
