Don't be so hard on yourself. Those tears are for someone else. I hear your voice on the phone. I hear you feel so alone. My baby. Ohh my baby. Please my baby, My baby, When we were young, And truth was paramount. We were older then, And we lived a life without any doubt. Those memories, They seem so long ago. What's become of them? When you feel like me I want you to know. They've all gone for sure Don't cry. Not alone. Don't cry, Tonight, my baby. Don't cry, You'll always be loved. Don't cry, Tonight. My baby. Today I dreamed, Of friends I had before. And I wonder why. The ones who care don't call anymore. My feelings hurt. But you know I overcome the pain. And I'm stronger now, There can't be a fire unless there's a flame. Don't cry. Your not alone. Don't cry, Tonight, my baby. Don't cry. You'll always be loved. Don't cry oh... Limousines and sycophants, Don't leave me now, 'Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me. Is now the wolf. In my bed, (L) In my head. In my head. In my head. The challenges, we took were hard enough. They get harder now. Even when we think that we've had enough. Don't feel alone, 'Cause it's I you understand. I'm your sedative, Take a piece of me whenever you can. Don't cry, you're not alone. Don't be so hard on yourself Don't cry, tonight my baby These tears are for, someone else Don't cry, you'll always be loved I hear your voice on the phone Don't cry, tonight sweet baby I hear you fear, so alone. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't you cry My baby Cry, don't cry 'Cause you still be loved Don't cry Don't cry tonight Ohh My baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby Ba da ba ba da da My baby my baby my my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby Ohh, yeyeyeyeiah, yeyeyeyeiah My baby You'll still be loved
