I heard her cry at night, I heard him slam the door
There was a screech of tires, but he'll be back for sure
Now through my apartment wall
Well, I can hear the sweet tears starting to fall

So cry baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start

Then came the telephone ring, it was a logical thing
I left it for awhile, I let him hang up and redial
And then I picked up the telephone
And I said, "Don't worry, honey, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not alone

So cry baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start

I really feel for you and what you're going through
And this sad situation it's all part of sentimental education

This is a tale of woe, you've heard it all before
There's nothing I can say to even ease the pain
But I still picked up the telephone
And I said, "Don't worry, honey, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not alone

So cry baby, wash out your heart, yeah
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start, yeah

So cry baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start

So cry baby, wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry and make a new start, yeah

Cry baby, wash out your heart
