Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh
Whoa
(When you cry) When you cry
(Boy, I'll cry) Boy, I'll cry
(Don't let go) Don't let go
(Or I'll die) Ooh
[Verse 2]
When you cry, when you cry
Baby, I cry
And if you take your love away, I'll just die
I love you once (If you love me once), I'll love you twice (I'll love you twice) Oh hoh
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
[Verse 3]
There's no better place, I'd rather be than in your arms
Holding you close to me
Looking in your eyes, let's me know
That you'll always be here
And your love ain't going nowhere, no
[Verse 4]
When you cry, when you cry
Baby, I cry
And if you take your love away, I'll just die
If you love me once (If you love me once), I'll love you twice (I'll love you twice)
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
[Verse 5]
It'll break my heart if you went away
And I don't think that I could make it through the day
And I feel the way you do
And when you cry, baby, I'm cryin' too, ohh, oh, ohh, oh
[Verse 6]
When you cry, when you cry
Baby, I cry
(And if you take your love away, I'll just die) I'll just die
(If you love me once) If you love me once, (I'll love you twice) I'll love you twice
(So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life) Hoh
[Verse 7]
When I see tears fall from your face (From your face)
Baby I know no one can take my pain (Take my pain)
And when I look in your eyes and see you cry
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, I'll just die
[Verse 8]
When you cry, when you cry
Baby, I cry
And if you take your love away, I'll just die (I'll just die)
(If you love me once) If you love me once, (I'll love you twice) Yeah, heh, oh
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
[Verse 9]
When you cry (When you cry)
Baby, I'll cry, (Boy, I'll cry) ooh yeah
(Don't let go, or I'll die)
If you love me once (If you love me once)
I'll love twice (I'll love you twice) yeah, oh hoh, yeah
(So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life)
[Verse 10]
(When you cry) when you cry
Baby, I cry
(And if you take your love away, I'll just die) I'll just die
(If you love me once) If you love me once, (I'll love you twice) I'll love you twice
(So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life) Promise me baby, oh whoa
