"Took It Like A Man, Cried Like A Baby" lyrics - VERN GOSDIN

The woman was kind to reveal her deception
Lately there'd been someone new
A man's got his pride and I'm no exception
I lied when I told her that I had too

And I took it like a man and cried like a baby
While she was here I stood tall and strong
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling
I'm hurtin' bad 'cause now she's gone

Well making it easy was my sole intention
I could see she was torn apart
With that in mind I neglected to mention
Just how badly she broke my heart

And I took it like a man and cried like a baby
While she was here I stood tall and strong
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling
I'm hurtin' bad 'cause now she's gone

They say that the ultimate act of a lover
Is to think of the other and not yourself
As long as she's happy then nothing else matters
Too bad she's happy with someone else

And I took it like a man and cried like a baby
While she was here I stood tall and strong
Now my knees are weak and my tears are rolling
I'm hurtin' bad 'cause now she's gone
