OH NO
Not again
Please no waterfall
(He with his hands to his head)

I’M SORRY
It’s just me
It’s nothing you’ve done
or have said

WHAT IS IT?
How can I fix it?
I didn’t break it
but how can I mend your head?

NO NEED TO
It’s not you
It’s just one part of
this foolish woman you wed

I HAVE TO
I need to
Your tears tell me
that something’s not right

NO REALLY
It’s just me
Sometimes tears
Mean that everything’s RIGHT

IT”S A MAN THING
To us tears mean
Something’s hurt you
One of our greatest fears

NOT FOR WOMEN
We aren’t like that
Sometimes we just need
This release of tears

OH HELL THEN
I’ll just feel useless
The mechanic
Deprived of his chance

IT’S OK DEAR
It’s just nature
We’re only doing
The Hunter-Gatherer Dance
