Lyric discussion by petrolwodkagin 

tgd, i think you've made an interesting point. For me, it seems very clear that this song is about a guy who didn't treat his girl well at all and takes her for granted. After she leaves him, he realises what he lost, but pretends it doesn't bother him.

@petrolwodkagin I think the song is saying that society won't let him cry, because men are supposed to be tough, it is an eighties song from memory.
