Lyrics
Cry Baby ( Tears Keep Good Hearts True )
Words and Music by Lionel de Bernard, ASCAP
Everybody knows that you're just lying to yourself
When you say-you're doing fine
You fall and you trip
Over bad relationships
Holding back the years and the tears
In your eyes
You can give everything
To make a bluebird sing
But, all you really want to do is cry
CHORUS
Cry Baby
Cry Baby
Tears keep good hearts true
You feel sorry for yourself
For the times you've been denied
As the innocence slowly fades away
Revealing your disguise
Believing you can love
Like the child of yesterday
You can lose your pride
Or you can barely survive
All you really need to do is cry
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
You can lose your pride
Or you can barely survive
All you really need to do is cry
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
Tears keep good hearts true
Tears keep good hearts true
