No No No No No No No No No No No Oo Oohh Ohhh Ohhh
I see a face in the mirror that I just don't like But I gotta keep tellin' myself that it's alright now I'm older there's no sense in me crying 'Cause mama said I'm not like you Used to havin' people say that I talk like him Fix my pace and my step so I don't walk like him don't know what I found inside of me but it's got me over you
(Why cry) Not a single letter or a single call from you (Why cry) I'm a stronger man now and it's because of you (Why cry) 'Cause I can't wait on you no more I made it here without you So tell me why should I cry
Mama was the one who taught me how to ride my bike And she was the one who taught me how to stand and fight Mama was there for me, mama was my everything my first day of school would start (where were you) And when I first had a broken heart (where were you) Those the times I most needed you But that's what got me through I am so over you
(Why cry) Not a single letter or a single call from you (Why cry) I'm a stronger man now and it's because of you (Why cry) 'Cause I can't wait on you no more I made it here without you So tell me why should I cry
I know it's hard And we're bound make mistakes But if there's anything I learned from you it's not to run away (runaway) Through all the trials and tribulations in my life (I won't run) (I will learn) I won't cry, I won't cry
(Why cry) Not a letter or a single call from you (Why cry) I'm a stronger man now and it's all because of you (Why cry) 'Cause I can't wait on you no more I made it here without you So tell me why should I cry [x2]
So tell me why should cry So tell me why should I cry
