A man's gotta be strong, though the love he need is goneSo thanks, but no thanks don't get any sympathyThis hurt I'll stand, I'll stand, but that old pity don't get any meA man in love, a girl I'm trueAll my dreams have fallen throughWhen my friends try to help me, they rush right to my sideI turn away their helping hands because of my prideWhen your love has left you, it hurts to be a manThough you wanna kneel and cry, you know that you must standThough my heart, it hurts me soI can't let it show, I know I must leave you aloneAre we alone?So thanks, but no thanks don't get any sympathyThis hurt I'll stand, I'll stand, but that old pity don't get any meHurt is here, love is goneThere's emptiness, I'm all aloneShe promised that she'd love me more with every dayWhen my heart believed in her, that's when she ran awayMy heart is full of sorrow because love has goneNow I know the feeling of being all aloneBut a man has got to be strong, though he hurts insideOnly in darkness cries my tearsI must hideSo thanks, no thanks, this hurt I'll stand itStanding tall, proud and highWhile my heart hurts much insideAs I slowly walk away, my friends understandThey wanna help, but they accept the feelings of a manHe must keep going, don't feel detained or outHe may be down without a sound, but never carry him outCause a man will rise one day, he'll find a wayTill then I must go in aloneAre we alone?So thanks, but no thanks don't get any sympathyThis hurt I'll stand, cause I'm a man, don't feel no pity
