Lyrics
Don't cry, cry baby
You got no reason to cry
Don't cry, cry baby
I never told you a lie
Someone said we were through
And you believed it could be
Someone was teasing you
Nobody heard it from me
I ought to spank you, cry baby
For even having such fears
But let me thank you, my baby
For feeling I'm worth all your tears
I don't mean maybe
When I say I'll always be true
So don't cry, cry baby
'Cause I love nobody but you
Don't cry, cry baby
You've got no reason to cry
Don't cry, cry baby
I never told you a lie
Someone said we were through
And you believed it could be
Someone was teasing you
Cause nobody heard it from me
I ought to spank you, cry baby
For even having such fears
But let me thank you, my baby
For feeling I'm worth all your tears
I don't mean maybe
When I say I'll always be true
So don't cry, cry, baby
'Cause I love nobody but you
Where'd you learn to build your troubles mountain high?
What's a matter, baby?
Cry baby, don't you cry
