Cry Baby Lyrics
Artist(Band):Janis Joplin

rehearsals

Cry-y-y ... ha ha ha ha ... baby, cry baby, cry baby, [bad word] back home.

I know she told you,
I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I do,
But I know she left you,
And you swear that you just don't know why,
Well, you know that I'll always be round
If you ever want [bad word] on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, yeah,
Oh, like you always seem to do.

Don't you know,
Honey, nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do.
Who'll be willing to take your pain
And all your heartache, too ?
Honey, I swear I'll always, I'll always be around
If you ever want [bad word] on and cry, cry baby, cry baby yeah, cry baby, yeah,
Oh daddy, [bad word] back home, yeah.

I know when you're sharp and round, babe,
Seems like the grass always looks greener,
When you're looking over there in somebody else's back-yard
So I know what you're tryin' to tell me
When you say, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama,
I've gotta go out shopping for my life
I've gotta find my, my own [bad word] third eye,
Hare Krishna identity out there on the road there.

And although it may [bad word] here
Sleeping in all your nice bed with all those satin sheets
And all that nice fur, eatin' all that chicken
Gettin' stoned, havin' a good time I have to go and rough it
I have to go to Africa
Or I have to go to Omaha, or some place like that,
I have to find myself, you know what I mean ?
So there's this stud, man, walkin' around the [bad word]  highways of America with a pack on his back
Lookin' for his identity, right ?

Well, I want to say baby don't you know you left your mama here all alone ?
You left your good lovin' mama right at home
And that should be identity enough for any man, ha ha ha!
So I said baby, I know that you're [bad word] home to me some day
And I'll be able to tell when you walk in my front door
I do, I just do believe that I can be lookin' in your eyes
So Lord, you finally realize
So you can put your head on my shoulder, babe,
'Cause I know you got some more tears to [bad word] on, let it go, [bad word] on [bad word] on [bad word] on [bad word] on [bad word] on,
Honey, cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry,

Honey when you got some more tears to shed
Honey I won't let a man stand in your way, babe,
You have to snap all your fear from the door house away dear
You just gotta let it go, [bad word] on,
Honey cry, oh, cry to me baby.

Is it a hit or a miss ?
