| I told your momma, I told your friends
|
| But they didn’t want to know
|
| I told the doctor, I told the preacher
|
| That I’d have to let you go
|
| And now I `fessed up, and finally told you
|
| That we’d have to say goodbye
|
| And it hurts, Oh how it hurts
|
| To see a grown man cry
|
| I tried to write it in a letter
|
| And I placed it on your door
|
| I called you up on the phone and left a message
|
| That I won’t be around no more
|
| And now I looked you in the eye and finally told you
|
| This time, it’s no lie
|
| And it hurts, oh how it hurts
|
| To see a grown man cry
|
| It breaks my heart to tell you
|
| That I have to go
|
| I guess I just never realized how much you love me so
|
| I tried to tell it to a stranger
|
| But he didn’t want to know
|
| I knew I had to talk to somebody
|
| But there was no place left to go
|
| And so I `fessed up, and finally told you
|
| That we’d have to say goodbye
|
| And it hurts, oh how it hurts
|
| To see a grown man cry |
