You've always been there for me
I have a shoulder to cry on
Whenever I call you come running

That's something I can rely on
I can see, I can see the pain in your eyes
You think a man's supposed to hide, what he's feeling inside

But you're wrong

[Chorus:]

You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be so proud with me
You don't have to be a rock

Standing out there like an island all alone
You don't have to be strong


I ain't gonna think less of you baby
And you know that's for sure
If the tears roll down your cheek


It'll only make me love you more You're still a man, still my man, a man in my eyes
Let me be there for you, like you've been there for me

All along.

[Chorus:]

You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be so proud with me
You don't have to be a rock

Standing out there like an island all alone
You don't have to be strong


I know you feel
The weight of the world on your shoulders
So, Come over here

Baby just let me hold you
Let me hold you...


You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be such a proud man with me
You can let it all out

That's why I'm here, that's what this love is all about
You don't have to be strong for me
You don't have to be so proud with me

You don't have to be a rock
Standing out there like an island all alone
You don't have to be strong

Just let me be strong for you
This time
