(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
Do you feel sorry lover?
Do you feel blue?
What reason did you have
To be untrue?
Now you could be so good
But you have to be so bad
When you could make me
Happy lover
You make me sad.
Now there's a cool breeze blowin'
Blowin' out the flame
That used to burn inside me
At the mention of your name,
Now there's a cool breeze blowin'
Blowin' down the track -
That's where I'm goin'
And I'm never comin' back...
My my - baby's gonna cry
My my - baby's gonna cry
My my - baby's gonna cry
Tonight - oh yea...
Now there's nothing
Comes from nothing
That's what they always say
Didn't mama tell ya
That's the price you have to pay?
Now you can't have
Your piece of cake
And eat the sweet thing too
But that kind of understanding
Isn't good enough for you
My my - baby's gonna cry
Do you feel blue?
What reason did you have
To be untrue?
Now you could be so good
But you have to be so bad
When you could make me
Happy lover
You make me sad.
Now there's a cool breeze blowin'
Blowin' out the flame
That used to burn inside me
At the mention of your name,
Now there's a cool breeze blowin'
Blowin' down the track -
That's where I'm goin'
And I'm never comin' back...
My my - baby's gonna cry
My my - baby's gonna cry
My my - baby's gonna cry
Tonight - oh yea...
Now there's nothing
Comes from nothing
That's what they always say
Didn't mama tell ya
That's the price you have to pay?
Now you can't have
Your piece of cake
And eat the sweet thing too
But that kind of understanding
Isn't good enough for you
My my - baby's gonna cry
(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry
Released on the 2005 compilation album Boxed, this track by Eurythmics features Annie Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery and the duo's signature electronic production. The song reflects the band's continued exploration of dark, atmospheric pop during the mid-2000s, maintaining the haunting tension characteristic of their earlier work. While often associated with the iconic 1983 hit Sweet Dreams, this recording stands as a testament to the group's enduring ability to craft moody, synth-driven compositions that resonate across decades. It serves as a key example of Eurythmics' evolution while preserving the emotional core that defined their catalog.
