 Cry baby,  cry baby,  cry baby,
 Honey, welcome back home.
 I know she told  you,
 Honey I know she told you that she loved  you
 Much more  than I did,
 But all I know is that she left  you,
 And you swear  that you just don t know why,
 But you know, honey I ll always,
 I ll always be around  if you ever want me
 Come on and cry, cry baby,  cry baby,  cry baby,
 Oh honey, welcome back home.
 Don t you know,  honey,
 Aint nobody ever gonna love  you
 The way  I try  to do ?
 Who ll take all your pain,
 Honey, your heartache, too  ?
 And if you need me, you know
 That I ll always be around  if you ever want me
 Come on and cry,  cry baby,  cry baby,
 Oh daddy, like you always saying  to do.
 And when  you walk around the world, babe,
 You said you d try to look  for the end of the road,
 You might find out later that the road will end in Detroit,
 Honey, the road will even end in Kathmandu.
 You can go all around the world
 Trying to find something to do with your life,  baby,
 When you only gotta do one thing well,
 You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world,  babe.
 You got a woman waiting for you there,
 All you ever gotta do is be  a good man one  time to one woman
 And that ll be the end of the road, babe,
 I know you got more tears to share, babe,
 So come  on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
 And cry, cry baby,  cry baby,  cry baby.
 And if you ever feel  a little lonely, dear,
 I want you to come  on, come on to your mama now,
 And if you ever  want a little love of a woman
 Come on and baby  baby baby babe babe baby now
 Cry baby yeah.
