#37 Baby, Baby Don’t Cry (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) 👍🏼
Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Let him walk on out if he wants to
He really doesn’t deserve you
His loss is our gain, so don’t be blue ’cause
Stone blind and out of his mind
Is what he has to be, yeah
Yeah, so, baby, straighten up, come on and fly right
It’s no catastrophe, yeah
I said, now, baby, baby, don’t cry
Baby, baby, here’s why
Love is here standin’ by
Love is here standin’ by
You trusted him and gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
Too bad, it was him that you trusted
Too bad, but you can’t be disgusted
It’s time that you got readjusted and
Realized that tear-filled eyes
Can never stop him now, no, no, no
That man is on his way, I think he’s gone to stay
You better drop him now, yeah
Ooh-wee now, baby, baby, don’t cry, no, no, nah
Baby, baby, here’s why
Because love is here standin’ by, I say
(Love is) right here standin’ by
All you’ve gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see
That you have got the love you thought you had in him, here, in me
Love is hope, girl, love is strength
Here’s someone standin’ right beside you who would go to any lengths
To give you love, true and deep
And help you realize, at last, you found a love that you can keep
And only losers weep, so
Ooh, baby (baby, baby, don’t cry)
Don’t you cry now, oh, baby (baby, baby, don’t cry)
Let me tell you why, now (baby, baby here’s why)
Don’t you know that love is here standin’ by?
I say, (love is) right here standin’ by
Your tears are shed in vain, I said, so
Come on, dry your eyes, baby (baby, baby, don’t cry)
Don’t you realize, baby (baby, baby, here’s why)
You don’t have to cry, because love is here
