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
