He wears his suit and tie
A straight back, his head up high
Just like his father told him to
He smiles and tells his jokes
So none of his friends will know
What he really has been going through

That's what a man should do
That's what a man should do
No tears when he gets bruised
That's what a man should do

He keeps his secrets safe
Locked up so far away
So he doesn't have to face the truth
He bears a heavy cross
A burden upon his heart
He tells himself true love is just for fools

'Cause that's what a man should do
That's what a man should do
No tears when he gets bruised
That's what a man should do

That's what a man should do
That's what a man should do
Act tough and play it cool
That's what a man should do
Even when his heart is breaking
Even when his heart is breaking
He wears his suit and tie
A straight back, his head up high
Just like his father told him to

'Cause that's what a man should do
That's what a man should do
No tears when he gets bruised
That's what a man should do
