Would've said I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind I tried to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I tried to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet, and Beg forgiveness, plead with you But I know that it's too late Now there's nothing I can do And I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes Boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would tell you that I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already gone away Misjudged your limits I pushed you too far I took you for granted I thought that you needed me more I would do 'most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry, boys don't cry Boys don't cry, boys don't cry (Boys don't cry)
