Cry
Judy Garland/Sosnick And His Orchestra Lyrics

Cry, baby, cry, cry, baby cry,
The singer is instructing the listener, who is referred to as 'cry baby', to cry.

Just the way I did the day you broke my heart
The singer is suggesting that the listener cry in the same way that she did on the day when the listener broke her heart.

Cry, baby, cry, you flew too high
The singer is mocking the listener for having become overconfident and subsequently failing.

Tables turned and now you've learned you're not so smart
The singer is saying that the listener's circumstances have changed and they have now learned that they are not as smart or capable as they thought they were.

You broke every promise
The singer is accusing the listener of breaking every promise they made.

You couldn't be true
The singer is saying that the listener was not able to be loyal or faithful.

You gave me the go-by
The singer is saying that the listener abandoned or disregarded her.

For somebody new when I needed you
The singer is saying that the listener left her for someone else at a time when she really needed their support.

Cry, baby, cry. My eyes are dry.
The singer is saying that despite her harsh words, she does not feel any sympathy for the listener's tears and her own eyes are dry.

I'm laughin' up my sleeve to see my cry baby cry.
The singer is admitting to finding some amusement in seeing the listener cry, despite the fact that the situation is not really funny.
