[Verse 1]
I can see the sadness in your eyes
You've been tryna hide what you left behind
They say it’s darkest before the dawn
But you've been smiling for so long
A thousand teardrops can't be wrong, no
[Chorus]
I don’t want you to be afraid
Let me see you cry
Oh, I, I got an hour or so
Take my hand and let it go
Call me up anytime
C'mon, baby, cry
[Verse 2]
I can tell you're a sad boy just like me
Baby, don't deny what your poor heart needs
Been so long since he called your name
On the run from a losing game
Just bat your eyes, baby, let me feel the pain
[Chorus]
I don't want you to be afraid
Let me see you cry
Oh, I, I got an hour or so
Take my hand and let it go
Call me up anytime
C'mon, baby, cry
[Bridge]
Three words everybody knows
Must be nice where lovers go
Take my hand, don't let it go
Just cry
[Chorus]
I don't want you to be afraid
Let me see you cry
Oh, I, I got an hour or so
Take my hand, darlin’, let it go
Call me up anytime
C’mon, baby
I don't want you to be afraid
Let me see you cry
Oh, I, I got an hour or so
Take my hand and let it go
You can call me up anytime
C’mon, baby, cry
[Outro]
C'mon, baby, cry
C'mon, baby
C’mon Baby, Cry was written by Orville Peck & Tobias Jesso Jr. & Christopher Stracey.
C’mon Baby, Cry was produced by Jay Joyce.
Orville Peck released C’mon Baby, Cry on Fri Feb 11 2022.
Tobias and I wanted this to sound like glossy casino music meets a Bob Fosse musical, wrapped up in country. This song is me giving advice that I received at some point, because I used to find it hard to cry. And now I can’t stop, so I have to make other people join me.
