Cry Baby Cry
Livin' alone, you know
I spend all my lifetime
livin' alone with
no one else to care.
Now I'm in love,
it comes but once in a lifetime.
I love you so,
but you don't seem to care.
Is our love a yesterday
Or is this a game we play
You leave me alone just like before
and all you have to say is
Cry, baby, cry.
Only tears can mend your heart.
Cry, baby, cry.
It's best that we both part.
Love was never meant
to bring you sorrow,
if it happens, one way
you can reach tomorrow
Cry, baby, cry
and tears will mend your heart.
How many times I thought
my young heart would fail me.
How I cried until
the tears weren't there.
I met a new guy, who said
he'd give his life to me.
He was in love but
I just couldn't care.
Our love was yesterday,
there is no game to play.
I know it hurts,
'cause I've been there,
And all I have to say is.
Cry, baby, cry.
Only tears can mend your heart.
Cry, baby, cry.
It's best that we both part.
Love was never meant
to bring you sorrow,
if it happens, one way
you can reach tomorrow
Cry, baby, cry and
tears will mend your heart.
Cry, baby, cry.
