Don’t Tell Me Not to Cry

[Intro]
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)

[Verse 1]
I was your baby, I was your love
You said I'd always be all of the above
But now you've changed your mind, you say we're through
You say you gotta find someone new

[Pre-Chorus]
When I plead with you, all that you can say is
"Don't cry baby, don't cry baby, everything is alright"
But it's not alright with me
I'm not ready, baby, please don't make me say goodbye

[Chorus]
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My head just won't stop achin'
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My heart is really breakin'

[Verse 2]
So now it's over, boy, and now youre leavin'
I know you'd like for me to make it easy
But I still love you honest and I still care
I think you're cruel and unfair

[Pre-Chorus]
When I plead with you, all that you can say is
"Don't cry baby, don't cry baby, everything is alright"
But it's not alright with me
I'm not ready, baby, please don't make me say goodbye

[Chorus]
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My head just won't stop achin'
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My heart is really breakin'

[Bridge]
I can't stop cryin'
Can't help for it to love
I just can't let you go

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
"Don't cry baby, don't cry baby, everything is alright"
But it's not alright with me
I'm not ready, baby, please don't make me say goodbye

[Chorus]
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My head just won't stop achin'
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My heart is really breakin'
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My head just won't stop achin'
Don't tell me not to cry, I'm still in love
(Don't cry baby, now don't you cry)
My heart is really breakin'
