- why are men afraid of this?
LET THE WOMAN IN YOU COME THROUGH
You’re holding in
’Cause you’re a man who never cries
I’m not as tough as you, my friend,
But since you ask for my advice,
Cho: Let the woman in you come through
She’s trying to let you know she’s there
She colors everything you do
And the man in you gets scared.
You like to dance, I’ve seen you dance
When you thought no one was there
I’ve heard sorrow in your voice
While you laugh like you don’t care
It’s hard to hide your gentle side
It’s a lonely way to be
Take it from a friend who knows,
An old, old friend like me.
Chorus
You’ll fight to prove that you’re a man
You’ll fight to prove you’re right
You work hard and play hard
And you stay up late at night
Working hard’s a way to hide
From the dumb things some folks say
But holding tenderness inside
Is only throwing it away.
Chorus / Break
So you tell me that I’m crazy
And I know you don’t like kids
Especially little sissies
Yeah, ... I know you never did,
But I’ve seen you with the tough ones
The ones the others all condemn
And you know that they’re the frightened ones
And you know ’cause you’re like them.
Chorus
Cho: Let the woman in you come through
Be a different kind of brave
She’ll show you love’s the difference
Between a free man and a slave.
