‘Men Have Feelings Too’

Men have feelings too,
Men have feelings too,
Men have feelings too.
We have feelings just like you.
Sometimes we feel hungry,
Sometimes we feel tired.
We’ve heard tell of words that only
Women feel inside.
Men have feelings too,
Men have feelings too.

Little girl with tears welling,
Gently ask her why.
Little boy who’s started sobbing,
Tell him not to cry.
Little girls who’s feeling matter
Learn to feel each one.
Little boys ashamed to feel them,
Feel there’s something wrong.

Men have feelings too,
Men have feelings too,
Men have feelings too.
We have feelings just like you.
Sometimes we feel hungry,
Sometimes we feel tired.
We’ve heard tell of words that only
Women feel inside.
Women feel emotions
Like Sadness, Joy or Fear.
Sometimes all a man will feel,
Is feel like a beer.
Men have feelings too,
Men have feelings too.

Men shut down, no longer talking
After World War One.
Generations pass the trait on
From father to son,
Unnamed feelings fuse together,
Feel the stresses grow.
Pressure cooking into anger.
Mustn’t let it blow.

You ask me what I’m thinking,
You ask me how I feel.
Can’t you see there’s football on TV?
