About Baby, Baby Don't Cry

"Baby, Baby Don't Cry", released in December 1968, is a single recorded by The Miracles for Motown Records' Tamla label. The composition was written by Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson, Motown staff writers Al Cleveland and Terry Johnson, a former member of The Flamingos. Robinson, Johnson, and Miracles member Warren "Pete" Moore were the song's producers. "Baby Baby Don't Cry" was a top 10 pop hit for The Miracles, peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and at a Top 10 R&B hit as well, peaking as number three on Billboard's R&B singles chart. It sold over one million copies, and has inspired cover versions by Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra, and Projekt. The song is noted for Smokey's spoken recitation at the beginning as well as before the second verse. The spoken lines are: "Nothing so blue as a heart in pain/Nothing so sad as a tear in vain", and "You trusted him and gave him your love/A love he proved unworthy of". The song uses an extended bridge that repeats the minor and diminished chords before going up half a step for the final repeated Choruses. more »

Nothing so blue as a heart in pain,
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain.
 
Let him walk on out if he wants to, 
he really doesn't deserve you.
His loss is our gain so don't be blue 
'cause stone blind and out of his mind 
is what he has to be. Yeah!
So baby, straighten up, come on and fly right, 
it's no catastrophe.
Yeah!  And say now 
 
Baby, Baby, Don't Cry,  Baby, Baby, Don't cry, 
Baby, baby, here's why,
Love is here standing by, 
Love is here standing by.
 
You trusted him and gave him your love,
A love he proved unworthy of.
 
To bad it was him that you trusted, 
too bad but you can't be disgusted.
It's time that you got readjusted 
and realized that tear filled eyes can never stop him now.
Yeah!  That man is on his way 
I think he's gone to stay, you'd better drop him now.Yeah!
 
Oo wee now 
Baby, Baby, Don't Cry,  Baby, Baby, Don't cry, 
Baby, baby, here's why,
Love is here standing by, 
Love is here standing by.
 
All you've gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see,
that you have got the love you thought you had in him,
Here in me, love is hope, girl, love is strength.
Here's someone standin' right beside you who would go to any length 
to give you love, true and deep,
And hope you realize at last you've found a love that you can keep, 
and only losers weep.
 
So, Baby, Baby, Don't Cry,  Baby, Baby, Don't cry, 
Baby, baby, here's why,
Love is here standing by,
