[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, sweet baby
Now, don't you cry
Everybody get their heart broke
Sweet baby, sometime
So he left you for another fool
Yes, a fool
For loving him from the start
Ask yourself what's more important
Him or the broken pieces of your heart
Sweet baby

[Verse 2]
Stand tall
(Tall)
Sweet baby
(Baby)
Don't you fall
You ain't the only one getting beat down
It happens to us all
The road you choose to walk in this life
(The road you choose to walk in this life)
Is one that leads into the next
So sweet baby, stand tall
(Sweet baby, stand tall)
Stand tall
(Sweet baby)
[Chorus]
Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gonna come your way soon, oh, yeah, sweet baby
Someway, somehow
(Sweet Baby)
Sweet Baby

[Verse 4]
Walk faster, sweet baby
Don't let those bad boys catch you now
Those things that they will have you do
You been done known better, oh, and how
How can you sleep knowing that you and a fool
Sing in the same key
Walk faster, sweet baby
(Walk faster)
Strive to be the very best that you can be
(Strive)
Sweet baby
Oh, sweet baby

[Chorus]
Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gon' come your way soon
Oh, yeah, sweet baby, someway, somehow
(Sweet baby)
Sweet baby
Better days gonna come your way, yeah
Sweet baby
