Tamar Braxton
Don’t Cry
[Intro]
Oh, oh
Oh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Why did I fall for you?
And why am I still missing you?
And why did I let you get close to me?
You were never there for me
Your kiss was never meant for me
I've been alone since you walked in my life

[Pre-Chorus]
And how was I supposed to know
That you would leave me in the cold?
I never want to hear you say to me again

[Chorus]
"Don't cry, I am by your side"
You know that you've lied
Words that don't mean a thing
"Baby, don't cry"
I've heard a thousand times
With all your other lies
So, this time, don't tell me not to cry
[Verse 2]
I don't think you know true love
And I don't think you want true love
You just didn't wanna be alone
You just wanted things your way
I don't think you even knew it
I can't believe I gave my heart to you

[Pre-Chorus]
And how was I supposed to know
That you would leave me in the cold?
I never want to hear you say to me again

[Chorus]
"Don't cry, I am by your side"
You know that you've lied
Words that don't mean a thing
"Baby, don't cry"
I've heard a thousand times
With all your other lies
So, this time, don't tell me not to cry

[Bridge]
How am I supposed to live alone?
And how am I supposed to face this world on my own?
I can't believe that you hurt me
Don't wanna hear that you're sorry
I never wanna hear these words from you
[Chorus]
"Baby, don't you cry, I am by your side" (Your side)
You know that you've lied (You know that you lied)
Words that don't mean a thing
"Baby, don't cry"
I've heard a thousand times (I've heard it)
With all your other lies (All before)
So, this time, don't tell me not to cry (Don't you lie and tell me "Don't cry")
"Don't cry, I am by your side" (Don't, don't)
You know that you've lied (Cry, cry)
Words that don't mean a thing (Mean a thing)
"Now, baby, now, don't cry"
I've heard a thousand times (Oh, oh)
With all your other lies (All your lies)
So, this time, don't tell me not to cry
Don't cry

[Outro]
I don't want, I don't wanna cry
I don't want, I don't wanna cry
I don't want, I don't wanna cry
(Words that don't mean a thing - "baby, don't cry")
I don't want, I don't wanna cry
(I've heard a thousand times)
I don't want, I don't wanna cry
(With all your other lies)
I don't want, I don't wanna cry
So, this time, don't tell me not to cry
