Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't cry, don't cry, baby
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Dry your eyes
Let's talk it over again

You know I didn't mean to ever treat you for me
Dry your eyes, yes, yes, yes
Honey, let's talk it over again, oh yeah
Oh, ya honey

Don't you cry, don't cry, baby
Oh, don't you cry, cry, don't you cry
Dry your eyes, honey child
Let's talk it over again

You know, oh, I didn't mean to ever treat you, honey
Treat you, hon, for me




Dry your eyes, baby
Whoa, let's talk it over again
