(Cry, baby)



I heard a cry at night, I heard him slam the door

There was a screech of tyres, but he''ll be back for sure

Now through my apartment wall, I can hear her sweet tears startin'' to fall



Chorus:

So cry, baby, wash out your heart

Hang your life out to dry and make a new start



Then came a telephone ring, it was a logical thing

I left it for a while, I let her hang up and redial

Then I picked up the telephone, ''n I said "Don''t worry, honey

No no no, no no no, you''re not alone"



chorus



It was a tale unwound, I''d heard it all before

And nothin'' I could say would ever ease her pain

Still I picked up the telephone, ''n I said "Don''t worry, honey

No no no, no no no, no no no, no no no, you''re not alone"



chorus repeats out
