Georgette Jones Strong Enough to Cry lyrics

You don't have to hold it all inside,
or try to keep your feelings hid.
You don't need to bottle your emotions,
like the way your Daddy did.
I can see inside your hurtin'
even though your eyes are dry.
If you let a tear roll down your cheek,
honey that don't mean you're weak.
You're just strong enough to cry.
They're not just little drops of water.
They show the way you feel.
They turn coal into diamonds,
and iron into steel.
I know you think that you'll be weaker,
if you let a tear fall from your eye.
Oh, but you don't understand.
A woman needs a man,
who's strong enough to cry.
Every rock that we can lean on,
isn't just shaped out of stone.
It didn't get that way by sitting,

there dry as a bone.
It took a million years of changing,
as the rain fell on it from the sky.
So if you wanna be that rock for me,
honey I need you to be,
strong enough to cry.
They're not just little drops of water.
They show the way you feel.
They turn coal into diamonds,
and iron into steel.
I know you think that you'll be weaker,
if you let a tear fall from your eye.
Oh, but you don't understand.
A woman needs a man,
who's strong enough to cry.
Oh, you don't understand.
A woman needs a man,
who's strong enough to cry.
