why can't i cry

Singer: haggard, merle

life comes down so heavy sometimes i can't bear it on my shoulders

i can't cry at all

my tears won't fall as i get older

guess i'm goin' through a change

i feel so cold and strange

wish i could fall apart and get it over

why

why can't i cry like you do when i need to

why

why can't i cry when i need to

and god knows i need to oh so bad

a woman can cry so easy you never have to hold the hurt down deep inside you

but i can't let go i can't let it show like you do

guess i'm goin' through a change

i feel so cold and strange

wish i could just break down and cry like you do

why

why can't i cry like you do when i need to

why

why can't i cry when i need to

and god knows i need to oh so bad
