Lyrics
CRY BABY
by
Rick Bell / Michael Lanning
(VERSE)
Picked you up on a Saturday night
Hopin?, that later I could hold you tight
Spend my money like it?s out of style
For all my luck I can?t raise a smile
From you
Baby
You don?t like it I?ll say goodnight
I don?t need no cry baby
Good-bye
Took you out on another date
I begged you, baby, please, don?t be late
Supposed to be ready ?bout an hour ago
Y?leave me downstairs, just pacin? the floor
You?re late
I wait
You don?t like it I?ll say goodnight
I don?t need no cry baby
Good-bye
(BRIDGE)
The moon is risin?
We could be drivin?
Girl, we?re just wastin? time
With all your cryin?
Your just denyin?
Any love that comes to you
(SOLO)
(VERSE)
Bless my soul, what?s wrong with you
Whinin? all the time like babies do
The game you?re playin?s just not my bag
Come on, baby, you?re such a drag
No fun
I?m done
You don?t like it I?ll say goodnight
I don?t need no cry baby
Good-bye
(BRIDGE)
The moon is risin?
We could be drivin?
Girl, we?re just wastin? time
With all your cryin?
Your just denyin?
Any love that comes to you
(VERSE)
Bless my soul, what?s wrong with you
Whinin? all the time like babies do
The game you?re playin?s just not my bag
Come on, baby, you?re such a drag
No fun
I?m done
You don?t like it I?ll say goodnight
I don?t need no cry baby
Good-bye
