Don't Cry
Ganga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate to see you all depressed
What is the matter anyway
Why don't you tell me what is wrong
Is it about the other day
No No I just wanna talk
Don't know why you wanna fight

No No
Don't cry
You know I'll always stand by you
No No
Don't say
That it's the reason why you cry

Suddenly everything has changed
There must be something we can do
Why don't we turn it upside down
You can be me and I'll be you
That seems like a good idea
Don't know why you disagree

No No
Don't cry
You know I'll always stand by you
No No




Don't say
That it's the reason why you cry
