Cry cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Welcome back home.
Now he told you, that he loved you much more than I
But he left you and you don't, you just don't know why
And when you don't know what to do
You come runnin' and start to

Cry cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,

Like you always do.

Don't you know nobody can love you the way I do
Take the pain and the heartache too
Ah honey you know that I'll be around
When you need me, go on and

Cry cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Welcome back home.

I've spent so many nights
Just waiting for you to come walkin' through that door
And even tho you've made a fool of me so many times before
I know that all it takes is just the sight of your face
To make me realize that I'll always love you darlin'
And I can see that you got some more tears to shed
I can see it baby, because your eyes, your eyes are getting red

So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and
Cry cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.

In J. Matheson Bayley’s “Cry Baby,” the singer addresses his former lover who has come back to him crying. The lyrics suggest that the woman had left him for another man who had claimed to love her more but had eventually abandoned her, leaving her confused and uncertain. The singer tries to comfort her by reminding her of his own faithful love, stating that nobody else can love her the way he does. He assures her that he will be there for her whenever she needs him and implores her to cry out her pain and sorrows, just as she always has.

The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and emotional turmoil from both the singer and the woman. They reflect the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on. The repetition of the phrase “cry baby” in the chorus creates a melancholic tone and emphasizes the woman’s need to release her emotions. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is waiting for the woman to come back to him, even though she has hurt him before.

Overall, “Cry Baby” is a poignant portrayal of the struggles of love and relationships. The singer’s attempt to console his former lover highlights the importance of empathy and understanding in such situations, while the woman’s tears and emotional outpouring reflect the depth of her feelings.

Cry cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Repeatedly shed tears and feel sorry for yourself, just like you always do

Welcome back home.
You always come back to me in the end

Now he told you, that he loved you much more than I
He claimed to love you more than I do

But he left you and you don't, you just don't know why
He abandoned you without explanation, leaving you confused

And when you don't know what to do
When you're lost and don't know where to turn

You come runnin' and start to
You always come back to me for comfort

Like you always do.
Just as you've done many times before

Don't you know nobody can love you the way I do
No one else can love you with the same intensity and devotion that I do

Take the pain and the heartache too
I'm willing to endure any amount of suffering for your sake

Ah honey you know that I'll be around
You can always count on me to be there for you

When you need me, go on and
Don't hesitate to reach out to me when you need help

I've spent so many nights
I've waited up for you countless times

Just waiting for you to come walkin' through that door
Hoping that you'll come back to me

And even tho you've made a fool of me so many times before
Despite the fact that you've embarrassed and humiliated me repeatedly

I know that all it takes is just the sight of your face
Seeing you again is all it takes to reignite my love for you

To make me realize that I'll always love you darlin'
It reminds me that my love for you is unwavering

And I can see that you got some more tears to shed
I can tell that you're not done crying yet

I can see it baby, because your eyes, your eyes are getting red
Your red eyes are a clear sign of your ongoing emotional pain

So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon and
So hurry up and

Cry cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.
Keep crying and feeling sorry for yourself
