You don't have to hold it all inside you
Or try to keep your feeling's hid
You don't need to bottle your emotions

Up the way your daddy did

I can see inside you're hurtin'

Even though your eyes are dry
But if a tear rolls down your cheek
Honey, that don't mean you're weak

You're just strong enough to cry

Chorus


They're not just little drops of water
That show the way you feel

They turn coal into diamonds
And iron into steel
I know you think you'll be weaker

If a tear falls from your eye
Oh, but you don't understand
A woman needs a man

Who's strong enough to cry

Every rock that we lean on

It isn't just shaped out of stone
It didn't get that way by sittin'
There dry as a bone


It took a million years of changin'
As the rain fell on it from the sky

So if you wanna be that rock for me
Honey, I need you to be
Strong enough to cry


Repeat Chorus


Baby you don't understand
This woman needs a man
Who's strong enough to cry
