Smiling, laughing, jumping Beaming with extravagant light He ran through the meadows hoping That his father would take him to the wonder Park tonight
But his father couldn’t make it Since he had a night shift And little Jimmy couldn’t resist His innocent tears from dripping
He tried hard to pull his tears in But they shamelessly slipped His mother patted his back asking him To be a strong guy As according to her and this Utopian world “Boys don’t cry”
Young Jimmy walked with a sore eye to his house After getting bullied by Big Barry Fry His father asked him to man up and stop being a mouse As according to him and many a folks alike “Boys don’t cry”
He smashed the ball into the goal Leading his team to victory And flung into his father’s arms Wishing to achieve his sympathy
Adolescent years passed by Times came which made him want to cry But he had to hide his tears As according to this ideal world “Boys don’t cry”
Time passed His dreams did shatter ripping him apart Devastation gripped him breaking his heart But still he pulled his tears back He had to try! Because according to this flawless world “Boys don’t cry”
The summer of ’59 brought him lady luck But who knew, innocent Jimmy Had turned into an evil schmuck Bruising his wife to death Gave him eternal peace and rest Making up for all those moments Which were supposed to be dry? As now even according to him “Boys don’t cry”
