(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

(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.
