Thanks But No Thanks

Lyrics

[Intro] (A man's gotta be strong Though the love he needs is gone) Oh, a man's gotta be strong Though the love he needs is gone [Chorus] So thanks, but no thanks (Thanks, no thanks) Don't give me no sympathy This hurt I'll stand 'cause I'm a man (This hurt, I'll stand it) Oh, please don't pity me [Verse 1] A man in love, a girl untrue All my dreams have fallen through My friends try to help me, they rush right to my side I turn away their helping hand because of my pride [Pre-Chorus] Though I'm deep in darkness, I know that I'm a man In time I know I'll rise again, and soon I'm gonna stand Though my heart, it hurts me so I can't let it show I know I must go it alone I must go it, go it alone [Chorus] So thanks, but no thanks (Thanks, no thanks) Don't give me no sympathy This hurt I stand 'cause I'm a man (This hurt, I'll stand it) Oh, plеase don't pity me [Verse 2] Hurt is herе, love is gone There's emptiness, I'm all alone You promised that you'd love me more with every day But when my heart believed in her, that's when she went away [Pre-Chorus] Oh, when your love has left you, it's hard to be a man Though you want to kneel and cry, you know that you must stand 'Cause a man has got to be strong Though he hurts inside Only in darkness he cries Oh, my tears, my tears I must side Listen to me [Bridge] I'm a man, yes I am Don't give me no sympathy I'm a man, yes I am So please don't pity me [Verse 3] See me standing tall, proud and high While my heart hurts much inside As I slowly walk away, my friends understand They want to help but they accept the feelings of a man [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause he must keep going, though feeling pain throughout He may be down without a sound, but never count him out 'Cause a man will rise one day He'll find a way 'Til then I must go it alone Oh yeah Listen, I'll go it, go it alone Listen to me [Chorus] Thanks, but no thanks (Thanks, no thanks) Don't give me no sympathy This hurt I stand 'cause I'm a man (This hurt, I'll stand it) Oh, please don't pity me I'm a man, yes I am (Thanks but no thanks) Don't give me no sympathy I'm a man, yes I am (This hurt I'll stand 'cause I'm a man) So please don't pity me I'm a man (Thanks but no thanks) Please don't pity me
