Don't Cry, Cry Baby

(album: Ella: The Legendary Decca Recordings - 1995)

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.
