Crybaby

I knew a girl, she was so fine

I wanted so much for her to be all mine

When I told her how much I cared

She started crying, I thought she was scared

I backed off thinking maybe I hurt her

I made a joke thinking I would divert her

Attention from the things that I said

It only opened up the water works instead

Cry baby, cry baby, give me a clue

Are you crying 'cause you're happy or because you're blue?

Cry baby, cry baby, how can I know

What's on your mind, baby?

You gotta try, baby, to tell me why

Why you cry, baby

I gave her everything that I could

I treated her right like a good boy should

She kept crying, for crying out loud

I got the feeling two was a crowd

I was serious, I wanted to let her

Know how I felt, so I wrote her a letter

I got a letter back but the ink was blurred

It was soaking wet, I couldn't read one word

Cry baby, cry baby, give me a clue

Are you crying 'cause you're happy or because you're blue?

Cry baby, cry baby, how can I know

What's on your mind, baby?

You gotta try, baby, to tell me why

You cry, baby

Well, you can cry me a river

Cry yourself to sleep

You knocked the milk over so you can weep

Cryin' tears of joy or crocodile tears

You cry for the moon when the sun appears

Well, I couldn't take it, I left her alone

I didn't even call her on the telephone

I heard from a friend that she was doin' alright

She hadn't cried since I left her that night

Cry baby, cry baby, I never knew

That you were crying 'cause I made you blue

Oh, cry baby, cry baby, now that I know

What's on your mind, baby

I gotta try, baby

To get by, baby

Without you

My cry baby

I gotta try, baby

To get by, baby

Goodbye, baby

Goodbye, baby
