I'D CRY LIKE A BABY
(Sammy Gallop / Howard Steiner)

as recorded by Dean Martin
1954


I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye,
I'd feel like a snowball on the fourth of July!
If you ever said you were leavin' for good,
I'd weep like a weepin' willow, honest I would!

I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon,
I'd let out a wail that would be heard on the moon!
Our love was so splendid, don't end it so soon,
Don't leave me here sighin', a-sobbin' and a-sighin',
Cryin' like a baby for you!

I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye,
I'd feel like a snowball on the fourth of July!
If you ever said you were leavin' for good,
I'd weep like a weepin' willow, honest I would!

I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon,
I'd let out a wail that would be heard on the moon!
Our love was so splendid, don't end it so soon,
Don't leave me here sighin', a-sobbin' and a-sighin',
Cryin' like a baby for you!
