Don't Cry Baby (10-11-29) - Bessie Smith

Honey, please don’t cry, listen to me

There’s no reason why we shouldn’t agree

If I hurt your feeling, I apologize

You’re the only one that I idealize

Don’t cry, baby, don’t cry, baby

Dry your eyes and let’s be sweethearts again

I didn’t mean to make you feel blue

Honest, I’d never do it again

Won’t you forgive, won’t you forget, do as I ask you to

I never let you regret, just start a new

You know I’m sorry, oh, so sorry

Don’t cry baby, there’s no one but you

Don’t cry, baby, don’t cry, baby

Dry your eyes and let’s be sweethearts again

I didn’t mean to make you feel blue

Honest, I’ll never do it again

Won’t you forgive, won’t you forget, do as I ask you to

I never let you regret, just start a new

You know I’m sorry, oh, so sorry

Don’t cry, baby, there’s no one but you
