You Don’t Have to Cry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the mornin' when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'?
Are you thinkin' of telephones, and managers
And where you got to be at noon?
You are living a reality I left years ago
It quite nearly killed me
In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference between me and you
I won't argue right or wrong
But I have time to cry, my baby

[Chorus]
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby
You don't have to cry

[Verse 2]
In the mornin' when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'?
Are you thinkin' of telephones, and managers
And where you got to be at noon?
You are living a reality I left years ago
It quite nearly killed me
In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference between me and you
I won't argue right or wrong
But I have time to cry, my baby

[Chorus]
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby
You don't have to cry
