Baby Baby Don't Cry
Smokey Robinson and The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
Let him walk on out if he wants to
He really doesn't deserve you
His loss is our gain so don't be blue
Cause stone blind and out of his mind
Is what he has to be, yeahSo baby straighten up, come on and fly right
It's no catastrophe, yeah
And say now baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby here's why
Love is here standing by
Love is here standing by
Too bad it was him that you trusted
Too bad but you can't be disgusted
It's time that you got readjusted
And realized that tear filled eyes
Can't stop him now
That man is on his way
I think he's gone to stay
You better drop him now, yeah
Oowee now, baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby here's why
Because love is here standing by
Love is here standing by
You trusted him and gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
Oh baby, oh baby all you've got to do
That you have found the love you thought
You had in him here in me
Love is hope girl, love is strength
Here's someone standing right beside you
Who would go to any length
To give you love true and deep
And hope you realize at last
You found a love that you can keep
And only losers weep
So standing by you , tears aren't shed in vain
I said so

Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
There's nothing sadder than having your heart broken
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain
Crying for someone who isn't worth it is the saddest thing
Let him walk on out if he wants to
If he wants to leave, let him go
He really doesn't deserve you
He doesn't deserve your love
His loss is our gain so don't be blue
Even though you're hurting, it's his loss and not yours
Cause stone blind and out of his mind
He's so foolish and unaware of what he has
Is what he has to be, yeah
That's just how he is
So baby straighten up, come on and fly right
Pull yourself together and move on
It's no catastrophe, yeah
It's not the end of the world
And say now baby, baby don't cry
Don't cry over him, baby
Too bad it was him that you trusted
It's unfortunate that you put your trust in him
Too bad but you can't be disgusted
It's a shame, but don't be disgusted by it
It's time that you got readjusted
It's time to readjust your expectations
And realized that tear filled eyes
Even though you're sad, it won't change anything
Can't stop him now
He's already made his decision to leave
That man is on his way
He's leaving and he's not coming back
You better drop him now, yeah
Cut him loose and move on
Oowee now, baby, baby don't cry
Don't cry, baby
Baby, baby here's why
This is why you shouldn't cry
Love is here standing by
Love is here for you
You trusted him and gave him your love
You trusted him with your heart
A love he proved unworthy of
Unfortunately, he wasn't worthy of your love
Oh baby, oh baby all you've got to do
All you need to do, baby
Is dry your eyes long enough to see
Stop crying and see clearly
That you have found the love you thought
You've found the love you were looking for
You had in him here in me
I'm the one who can love you like you deserve
Love is hope girl, love is strength
Love can give you hope and strength
Here's someone standing right beside you
I'm here for you
Who would go to any length
I would do anything for you
To give you love true and deep
I can give you real, deep love
And hope you realize at last
I hope you finally see
You found a love that you can keep
You've found a love that you can hold onto
And only losers weep
Don't cry, only losers do that
So standing by you , tears aren't shed in vain
I'm here for you and your tears aren't meaningless
I said so
That's the truth
