Don’t be a baby, Baby
‘bout the love that passed you by 
But if you have to, Baby
Go ahead and have your cry
I’ll be your baby, Baby
Truer than the one you knew
And someday maybe, maybe Baby
You will learn to love me too

(Short Musical Break)

Now don’t sit there with teardrops coming through
Smile a little smile instead
The only thing that tears can do for you
Is make your eyes look red

Now, don’t be a baby, Baby
‘bout the love that passed you by
But if you have to, Baby
Go ahead and have your cry
I’ll be your baby, Baby
Truer than the one you knew
And someday maybe, maybe Baby
You will learn to love me too

(Musical Break)

And someday maybe, maybe Baby
You will learn to love me too.
