Thanks But No Thanks

Richard Morris, William Weatherspoon, James Dean

[Intro]
(A man's gotta be strong
Though the love he need is gone)
I said a man's gotta be strong
Though the love he need is gone

[Chorus]
So thanks, but no thanks (Thanks, no thanks)
Don't give me 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]
When your love has left you, it hurts to be a man
Though you want to kneel and cry, you know that you must stand
Though my heart, it hurts me so
I can't let it show
I know I must make it alone
I'll go it alone

[Chorus]
So thanks, but no thanks (Thanks, no thanks)
Don't give me sympathy
This hurt I'll stand 'cause I'm a man (This hurt, I'll stand it)
Oh, please don't pity me

[Verse 2]
Hurt is here, love is gone
There's emptiness, I'm all alone
She promised that you'd love me more with every day
When my heart believed in her, that's when she went away

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is full of sorrow because love has gone
Now I know the feeling of being all alone
But a man has got to be strong
Though he hurts inside
Only in darkness he cries
My tears I must hide

[Chorus]
So thanks, but no thank you (Thanks, no thanks)
This hurt, I'll stand it (This hurt, I'll stand it)

[Verse 3]
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]
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
I'll go it alone

[Chorus]
So thanks, but no thanks (Thanks, no thanks)
Don't give me sympathy
This hurt I'll stand 'cause I'm a man (This hurt, I'll stand it)
Oh, please don't pity me

I'm a man (Thanks)
