DON'T CRY, CRY BABY
Martini / Mayer / Sid Tepper

as rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio   
1949 New York

also rec by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Jordan '49


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, cry 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!

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!
