Baby Don't Cry
Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]
She'll go down in history
Twenty four hours of every day she'll cry
So baby, don't
(Baby, don't cry)
Oh baby, don't
(Baby, don't cry)
Dance a little, shake a little
You can even twist and shout
But baby, don't cry, baby, don't cry
Every time we say good night
As I go to hold her tight
Never get to kiss her 'cause she cries
Oh baby, don't
(Baby, don't cry)
Oh baby, don't
(Baby, don't cry)
Dance a little, shake a little
You can even twist and shout
But baby, don't cry, baby, don't cry
Does she love me? Yes or no
Will she ever tell me so?
She just hasn't got the time, she cries
Oh baby, don't
(Baby, don't cry)
Oh baby, don't
(Baby, don't cry)
Dance a little, shake a little
You can even twist and shout
But baby, don't cry, baby, don't cry
Dance a little, shake a little
You can even twist and shout
But baby, don't cry, baby, don't cry
One, two, three, four
Baby Don't Cry
Hollies' "Baby Don't Cry" is a standout track from their 2011 compilation "Clarke Hicks & Nash Years," which gathers material from the band's formative period with Dick Clarke, John Hicks, and John Nash. As a staple of British Invasion pop, the song exemplifies the group's signature sound, blending upbeat tempos with heartfelt vocal harmonies that defined their early success. The recording captures the essence of mid-1960s rock and roll, showcasing the tight instrumentation and melodic sensibilities that made Hollies a prominent act during their peak. While the specific chart performance of this particular track may vary across different regions, its enduring appeal lies in its classic structure and the collective vocal effort that became a hallmark of the band's discography. The song remains a representative example of the era's energetic pop-rock style, reflecting the collaborative spirit of the original lineup before the band's subsequent evolution.
