Oh you've got to cry girl then you'll know how I miss you Well I've grown up girl I've learned how to be a man I've cried tears felt the pain have memories when you hurt me But now look at me I still know I can stand Say are you listening girl do you hear what I'm saying And do you know girl the reason that I walked out Well you're young right now but tomorrow the world may find you So learn from life and find what love's about Oh you've got to cry girl before you can be a woman And you've gotta hurt girl before you'll understand You need tears and time and sad memories to complete you So I wish you all the heartaches you can stand
