Cry
Carlene Carter


Excuse my stare
It's only admiration
I cannot hide this infatuation
A young adolescent
Such an innocent child
You win a contest
For every little girl smiled
But all those tears
She made you cry, cry, cry
Let your mama make 'em go
Bye, bye, bye
Poor little boy now
Why, why, why
Cry
Baby, cry baby
Cry, cry, cry
It's not my concern
But my sympathy is yours
And if you're lonely
You can sleep
On my floor
I'll lend you an ear
Or an arm and a leg
But strictly plutonic
For every topic
Heartache's a scratch
But love is an itch
She must've scratched
You make you hurt like this
Poor little boy now
Why, why, why
Cry baby, cry baby
Cry, cry, cry
You can cry sugar
You can cry honey
You can cry money but don't you cry tears
Cry me a river or cry me a lake
Cry like the rain but don't you ever cry like a train
Well love is a fall and heartache's a bitch
She must've sent you flyin' over the fence
Poor little boy now why, why, why
Cry baby, cry baby, cry cry cry
Cry honey, cry honey, cry cry cry
Cry baby, cry baby, why, why, why
Cry sugar, cry honey, bye bye bye
