"Don't cry"
Well you lost your way like a blind man in the dark
And you don't know where to turn or what to think
But you don't cry, don't you cry no more
'Cause I'm here to tell you, it's gonna be alright
And you ain't no good, you ain't no good
But you don't cry, don't you cry no more
Well you fell down on your face like a rock on a log
And you feel like you're all alone, you feel so numb
But you don't cry, don't you cry no more
'Cause I'm here to tell you, it's gonna be alright
And you ain't no good, you ain't no good
But you got a friend who will always be there
Chorus:
Don't cry, baby don't cry
Don't you cry no more
It's gonna be alright, yeah yeah
Cry your heart out, baby don't you cry no more
And if you get down on your knees and pray for luck
And all your dreams come true, yeah yeah yeah
You know that it's real, it's all real
You don't have to worry 'bout a thing in the world
Verse 2:
Now your head is spinning like a top, yeah yeah
And your heart is beating so loud and so fast
But don't cry, don't you cry no more
'Cause I'm here to tell you, it's gonna be alright
Chorus: (x2)
Don't cry baby don't cry (don't you cry no more)
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright) yeah yeah
Cry your heart out, baby don't you cry no more (no more)
Baby don't cry (no more) oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Outro:
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
