Tough Guys lyrics

The sound of thunder crashed down the alleyway

Who can remember the last time it rained?

As you pushed through the crowd

Into the mean streets of town

There was something I needed to explain

You accuse me of having a heart that was made of stone

I'm hard on the outside, that's how I survive

But, baby, deep in my soul

Is where you had complete control

But you'll never see a teardrop in my eye

Don't ask why

'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry

The world's greatest lie

Is that all of us tough guys don't cry

It's 3:37, just me and my empty glass

My vision is blurry, it's so hard to see

Was I really so blind?

Was I out of my mind?

Oh, you'll never hear my apology

Don't ask why

'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry

The world's greatest lie

Is that all of us tough guys don't cry

I'm a tough guy on the outside

Oh, oh, yeah

And I'm cryin' on the inside

Hear me cry

Don't ask why

'Cause we all know that tough guys don't cry

The world's greatest lie

Is that all of us tough guys don't cry

You know all of us tough guys don't cry

Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry

Yeah

Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry

Yeah

Yes, we all know that tough guys don't cry
