I know that I'm a man, I'm not supposed to cry
But when I see you, I cry inside
I guess, I'm a loner, I don't run with your crowd

You only smile at me when there's no one around
We have to meet in secret 'cause we know the town
They'll talk of me, they'll talk of you, and they'll say
"Oh, what a shame, he's ruining her name"

Some people say when you're alone like me
Life has no meaning, but I know
The reason you love me is because I'll never be
Never be, what you want me to be

So go on, laugh and walk, and talk with other guys
I'll never let them see the love that's in my eyes
We'll meet tonight you'll make it right, when you say
We'll be together forever and ever

I know that I'm a man, I'm not supposed to cry
But when I see you, I cry inside
