BABY BABY DON'T CRY
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles


(spoken): 
Nothing so blue as a heart in pain 
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain 

Let him walk on out if he wants to 
He really doesn't deserve you 
His loss is our gain so don't be blue 
'Cause stone blind & out of his mind 
Is what he has to be, yeah 
So baby straighten up, come on & fly right 
It's no catastrophe, yeah 
& say now 

CHORUS: 
Baby baby don't cry 
Baby baby here's why 
Love is here standing by 
Love is here standing by 

(spoken): 
You trusted him & gave him your love 
A love he proved unworthy of 

Too bad it was him that you trusted 
Too bad but you can't be disgusted 
It's time that you got readjusted 
& realized that tear filled eyes 
Can never stop him now 
That man is on his way 
I think he's gone to stay 
You better drop him now, yeah 

(chorus) 

All you gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see 
That you have go the love you thought you had in him here in me 
Love is hope girl, love is strength 
Here's someone standing right beside you 
Who would go to any length to give you love true & deep 
& hope you realize at last you've found a love that you can keep 
& only losers weep, so 

(chorus) 

Your tears are shed in vain, I said so 
(repeat chorus & fade)
