Don't Cry, Cry Baby - Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five

Don’t cry, cry baby,

You’ve got no reason to cry.

Don’t cry, cry baby,

I never told you a lie!

Someone said we were through

And you believed it could be;

Someone was teasing you,

Nobody heard it from me!

I ought to spank you, cry baby,

For even having such fears,

But let me thank you, my baby,

For feeling I’m worth all your tears.

I don’t mean maybe

When I say I’ll always be true,

So don’t cry, cry baby,

'Cause I love nobody but you!

Don’t cry, cry baby,

You’ve got no reason to cry.

Don’t cry, cry baby,

I never told you a lie!

Someone said we were through

And you believed it could be;

Someone was teasing you,

Cause nobody heard it from me!

I ought to spank you, cry baby,

For even having such fears,

But let me thank you, my baby,

For feeling I’m worth all your tears.

I don’t mean maybe

When I say I’ll always be true,

So don’t cry, cry baby,

'Cause I love nobody but you!

When do you learn to build your troubles mountain high?

What’s a matter, baby?

Cry baby, don’t you cry.
