Baby Baby Don't Cry
The Miracles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall 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. Yeah!
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.
You trusted him and gave him your love,
A love he proved unworthy of.
To 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 never stop him now.
Yeah! That man is on his way
I think he's gone to stay, you'd better drop him now.Yeah!
Oo wee 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.
All you've gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see,
that you have got the love you thought you had in him,
Here in me, love is hope, girl, love is strength.
Here's someone standin' right beside you who would go to any length
to give you love, true and deep,
And hope you realize at last you've found a love that you can keep,
and only losers weep.
So, Baby, Baby, Don't Cry, Baby, Baby, Don't cry,
Baby, baby, here's why,
Love is here standing by,
The Miracles's song "Baby Baby Don't Cry" is a soulful ballad about the pain of heartbreak and the healing power of love. The first stanza acknowledges the deep emotional pain that comes from a broken heart, describing it as "nothing so blue" and "nothing so sad." The second stanza encourages the listener to move on from a relationship that is not worth fighting for, assuring them that his leaving is "his loss" and that it's time to "get readjusted" and see the light. The chorus urges the listener not to cry, reminding them that love is here for them now and urging them to believe in it and take hold of it.
The lyrics of this song convey a message of perseverance and hope. They encourage the listener to move beyond pain and heartbreak and to embrace the love that is available to them. The song recognizes the difficult emotions that come with heartbreak but also emphasizes the importance of staying strong and standing up for oneself.

Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
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, yeah
So baby straighten up, come on and fly right
It's no catastrophe, yeah
And say now baby, baby don't cry
Baby, baby here's why
Love is here standing by
Love is here standing by
You trusted him and gave him your love
A love he proved unworthy of
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 never stop him now, no no no
That man is on his way I think he's gone to stay
You better drop him now, yeah
Now, baby, baby don't cry, no no
Baby,…

All you've got to do
Is dry your eyes long enough to see
That you have got 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 help you realize at last
You found a love that you can keep
And only losers weep
So ooh baby, don't you cry now
Oh baby, let me tell you why now
Don't you know that love is here standing by, I say
Right here standing by your tears aren't shed in vain I said so
Come on dry your eyes baby
Don't you realize baby
