I say that I don't worry and our parting brought no pain

I tell them I'll be happy if we never meet again

About the time I get 'em fooled and think I'm really smart

I realize that I can't hide my cry baby heart



Cry baby heart I wish you were a stone

So I could really laugh and say I'm better off alone

But like an actor in a play I stumble through my part

You're always giving me away you cry baby heart

[ steel ]

I try to find somebody else but no one else will do

I'd rather sit at home alone and worry over you

I wish that I could run away and make another start

But what's the use I'd still obey my cry baby heart



Cry baby heart I wish you were a stone...
