Big Boys Cry的詞曲作者包括Billy Preston和Mike Post。以下是這首歌的部分歌詞:
女聲:
Big boys don't cry, no, no, no, no
Big boys don't cry
男聲:
But I'm a big boy, crying like a little baby
Trying to keep it together
But my heart is breaking
女聲:
Big boys don't cry, no, no, no, no
Just like a child I'll learn to hide my sorrow
Honey, I'll be alright
男聲:
But I'm feeling so alone tonight
Trying to keep a smile on my face
But inside I feel so sad and blue
女聲:
Big boys don't cry, no, no, no, no
I know you're hurting so bad
But you'll make it through the day
Honey, you'll be alright
這首歌的歌詞強調了一個成年男子在痛苦和悲傷面前的無助和沮喪,但他仍然努力保持鎮定,試圖保持微笑,但內心卻感到沮喪和悲傷。他承認自己是一個大男孩,哭泣就像一個小Baby,這也表明了他還有著未成熟的一面。但同時,他也明白自己將從痛苦中學習到如何掩飾自己的悲傷,相信自己將能挺過這一天。這首歌的詞語簡練卻有力,唱出了無論何時,我們都可能感到沮喪,但也要堅強地面對生活。
