Why Can’t I Cry Songtext
von Merle Haggard

Life comes down so heavy sometimes I can′t bear it on my shoulders
I can't cry at all my tears won′t fall as I get older
Guess I'm goin' through the change I feel so cold and strange
Wish I could fall apart and get it over


Why why can′t I cry like you do when I need to
Why why can′t I cry when I need to
And God knows I need to oh so bad

A woman can cry so easy you never have to hold the hurt down deep inside you
But I can't let go I can′t let it show like you do
Guess I'm goin′ through a change I feel so cold and strange

Wish I could just break down and cry like you do

Why why can't I cry like you do when I need to
Why why can′t I cry when I need to
And God knows I need to oh so bad
