Cry to Me (1972) Lyrics by Professor Longhair

Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge

0

[Verse 1]
When your baby leaves, leaves you all alone
And nobody calls you on the phone
Don't you feel like crying? Don't you feel like crying?
Here I am honey, come on, come on, cry to me
[Verse 2]
When you're all alone in an empty room
And there's nothing there but the smell of perfume
Don't you feel like crying? Don't you feel like crying?
Here I am honey, come on, come on, cry to me
[Bridge]
Oh baby, nothing could be
Sadder than a glass of wine alone
Loneliness, lonеliness is just a waste of time
[Verse 3]
Oh baby you don't havе to walk, walk on alone
If your lover don't return
Take my hand, won't you honey?
Come on and walk with me
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
When you're waitin’ till the break of dawn
Late in the night when no one shows
Don't you feel like crying? Don't you feel like crying?
Here I am honey, come on, come on, cry to me
[Bridge]
I said that nothing could be
Sadder than a glass of wine alone
And loneliness, loneliness, is just a waste of time
[Verse 3]
Oh baby you don't have to walk, walk on alone
If your lover don't return
Take my hand, won't you honey?
Come on and walk with me
[Verse 4]
When you're waitin’ till the break of dawn
Late in the night when no one shows
Don't you feel like crying? Don't you feel like crying?
Here I am honey, come on, come on, cry to me
[Outro]
Don't you feel like crying, girl, crying to me
Don't you feel like crying, cry to me
