Lyrics:
[Intro]
Hmm

You know, it's funny how people put labels on things
Like men are supposed to be strong, and women weak
I've even heard it said that men don't things as deeply as women
Don't hurt as bad
But when love comes into your life, and all your feelings come to the surface
Joy and pain, whatever's in your heart
It's intensified a thousand times
Yes, I've been hurt
Deeper than you'll ever know
But being the kind of man I am
I have to hide my feelings
But if I could put all that aside and tell you the truth

[Verse 1]
I want to beg
You down on bended knees
Stay with me
But then my fears
Outweigh my needs
And I must turn away

[Pre-Chorus]
Though you think
That my heart is cold, girl
You can't see
The tears that blow deep
Inside me

[Chorus]
Each day I cry a little
Each night I die just a little
Each day I cry a little
Each night I die just a little

[Verse 2]
Those warm and gentle words
My lips can't find, darling
If you could hear
My silent plea
I know you'd change your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you see
That I'm just a man who's much too proud
To let you know if
If you'll go

[Chorus]
Each day I cry a little
Each night I die just a little
Each day I cry a little, hey, just a little
Each night I die just a little

[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
(Ooh)
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Ooh)

(Each day I cry a little more)
Hmm, hmm, hmm
(Each day I cry a little more)
(More than you'll ever know)
More than I'm ever gonna show
(Each day I cry a little more)
(More than you'll ever know)
And more than I'm ever gonna show you
(Each day I cry a little more)

(Can't you see that I'm just a man) Hey
(And it hurts so bad)
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
Way down my soul
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
Uh-huh huh
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
I know you see it (Can't you see it?)
See it
Heaven knows
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
(Can't you see it?)
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
(Can't you see it?) (See it?)
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
(Can't you see it?)
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
(Can't you see it?)
(Can't you see that I'm just a man)
(And it hurts so bad)
(Each day I cry a little more)
(Can't you see it?) (See it?)
