Cry Baby - Original Mono - Percy Mayfield

Let me tell you a secret

That’s no secret anymore

My life’s been wrecked so badly

I think the whole world ought to know

I would get up every morning

And I’ll face the rising sun

When night falls like a shadow

My work is just begun

And they call me Cry Baby

But I cry cause I’m in pain

If I don’t soon find somebody

I know I’m goin' insane

I did my best to keep my baby

Did everything I could

She treated me so rotten

I was a laughing stock of the neighborhood
