In my early years when I would shed my tears They would glow However, now I fear that the rain has cleared And they won't show, am I old too old? To understand how to get them back Should I let them build until my teeth collapse? I'm just a smile for strangers who bring up their past 'Cause I'm afraid to feel the same Cry, baby Cry, baby Oh, woah-woah Cry, baby Why you so sad? Cry, baby Cry, baby Oh, woah-woah Cry, baby Won't you come back? ♪ If I lose my cool, I still play the fool for the crowd No matter how I feel They all laugh and cheer for the clown Am I allowed? To let them see? Who I am behind these velvet curtains underneath the light? I'm just a smile for strangers Who can't seem to find the irony in all of me, though Cry, baby Cry, baby Oh, woah-woah Cry, baby Why you so sad? (Hey!) Cry, baby Cry, baby Oh, woah-woah Cry, baby Won't you come back? ♪ Cry, baby Oh, woah-woah Cry, baby Why you so? Why you so? Why you so sad? Cry, baby Cry, baby Oh, woah-woah Cry, baby Won't you come back? Won't you come back?
