Cry Lyrics by Sheena Easton

Take My Time

1981

(Cry, baby)
I heard a cry at night, I heard him slam the door
There was a screech of tyres, but he'll be back for sure
Now through my apartment wall, I can hear her sweet tears startin' to fall
[Chorus:]
So cry, baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start
Then came a telephone ring, it was a logical thing
I left it for a while, I let her hang up and redial
Then I picked up the telephone, 'n I said "Don't worry, honey
No no no, no no no, you're not alone"
[Chorus:]
So cry, baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start
(Cry, baby)
(Cry, baby)
It was a tale of woe, I'd heard it all before
And nothin' I could say would ever ease her pain
Still I picked up the telephone, 'n I said "Don't worry, honey
No no no, no no no, no no no, no no no, you're not alone"
[Outro:]
So cry, baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start
Cry, baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start
So cry, baby, (wash out your heart)
Hang your life out to dry (and make a new start)
