Easy to Cry

Mother said that the tears of a woman
 Were never meant to be shared by a man
 I was taught that the man was a survivor
 Shelter woman and to give her what he can
 That's the way of the world, Mama said
 And the woman loved the man til she died
 Though life will share both the joy and the pain
 My son, woman was the only one that cried
 That's what mother said
 That's what mother said
 My Mama never lied
 Cause it's easy to cry when your woman's gone
 and it's easy to cry from the pain
 But it's easy to learn from your first mistake
 And I ain't gonna do it again
 Mama said there are hardships a comin'
 Man and woman carry them through the years
 She said the strength of the man's in the sweat of his brows
 The power of the woman's in her tears
 That's the way of the world, Mama said
 And the woman loved the man, though he lied
 But I learned in the light of the cold world
 The woman's not the only one that cries
 I know Mama lied, I know
 I know that Mama lied
 Cause it's easy to cry when your woman's gone
 It's easy to cry from the pain
 But it's easy to learn from your first mistake
 And I ain't gonna do it again
 It's easy to cry, easy to cry
 It's easy to cry, easy to cry
 Well it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 Well it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 It's easy to cry when your woman's gone
 and it's easy to cry from the pain
 and it's easy to learn from your first mistake
 and I ain't gonna do it again
 And it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 And it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 And it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 And it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 And it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 Yea it's easy to cry, easy to cry
 Oh it's easy to cry, easy to cry
