You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry

Loretta Lynn · Before I'm Over You [1964]

You don't have to be a baby to cry

All you need is for love to go wrong

You don't have to be a baby to cry

Or to lay awake the whole night long.



When you leave me my golden rainbow disappears

Then you leave me a broken heart that's full of tears

These ain't raindrops in my eyes, why should I lie?

You don't have to be a baby to cry.

When you leave me my golden rainbow disappears

Then you leave me a broken heart that's full of tears

These ain't raindrops in my eyes, why should I lie?

You don't have to be a baby to cry.



A little bitty baby, you don't have to be a baby to cry...
