why does a man have to be so strong

Paul Young

There you go again, saying you canââ?¬â?¢t take any more;
Here I go again, wishing the ground would swallow me whole.
If I canââ?¬â?¢t give you a good reason, then itââ?¬â?¢s me who must be wrong,
but Iââ?¬â?¢d cry if I stood for (this) treason so why does a man have to be strong?
Even though I try to get by oh why, why does a man have to be strong?
There I go again, finding the words to apologise.
Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to get these tears Iââ?¬â?¢m crying out of my eyes
Cause when you tell me that you need me, but you can never find me there
I bet you think I find it easy or that I donââ?¬â?¢t even really care
Is it true what I hear, or just another storyline?
Thereââ?¬â?¢s one thing I know; it wonââ?¬â?¢t be the only time
Youââ?¬â?¢d think I was made of iron with all the things you put me through
But girl I tell you Iââ?¬â?¢m not lying when I say that you can hurt me too
Why is it I have to be strong?
