Song

Discuss/Reflect

Do you think that men should not cry? How do you feel when you see a man crying?
Listen to the song. Why does the singer feel like crying?

Part 1: Listen to the first part of the song and type the missing words.

I would say I’m

If I thought that it would change your

But I know that this time

I've said too

Been too

Chorus

I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies

I try and laugh about it

Hiding the tears in my eyes 'cause boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

I would down at your feet

And beg forgiveness, plead with you

But I know that it's too

And now there's I can do

Chorus

Part 2: Listen to this part of the song and select the words you hear.

I would tell you

That I loved you

If I thought that you would stay

But I know that it's no

That you've already

Gone away

Misjudged your limits

Pushed you too far

Took you

I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most

To get you by my side

But I just keep on laughing

the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

Boys don't cry (Twice)

Discuss/Reflect

What has the singer done? Do you think he deserves to feel the way he feels? Do you sympathise with him?
What would you suggest that he do? What would you do if you were in his shoes?
