  • Yo, what's happenin'?
    What you're cryin' for?
    You know you look too damn good to be cryin'
    Come here
    Holla at a player
    Dpg style
    Ya know, ya know

    When I think of our untimely end
    And everything we could have been
    I cry, baby I cry

    Okay so it's 5 am and I still can't sleep
    Took some medicine but it's not working
    Someone's clinging to me and it's bittersweet
    'Cause he's head over heels but it ain't that deep
    I finally changed my number got a different pager
    Then last Saturday your cousin called to say you're
    Trying to reach me, probably because you see that I'm with someone new

    Late at night like a little child
    Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
    On my tippy toes, so that he won't know
    I still cry baby over you and me
    (Baby don't cry)

    Sipping Bailey's Cream, by the stereo
    Trying to find relief on the radio (ah, what's up?)
    I'm suppressing the tears, but they start to flow
    'Cause the next song I hear is the song I wrote
    When we first got together early that September
    I can't bear to listen so I might as well drift
    In the kitchen pour another glass or two and try to forget you (ya know, ya know)

    Late at night like a little child
    Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
    On my tippy toes, so that he won't know
    I still cry baby over you and me (baby don't cry)

    Baby here me when I say
    Let that man be on his way
    Don't even waste your time and worry 'bout how he handle things
    Baby here me when I say
    A playa feeling good today
    You know you're too fly to even waste your time
    Watch how I handle things
    Man you's a fool for this
    But on the real dog I'm cool with this
    We doing this
    D-o double G Z-Y
    Kiss the girls and make them cry

    Late at night like a little child (I'm like a little child) (dry your eyes)
    Wandering around alone in my new friend's home (nah baby don't cry)
    On my tippy toes, so that he won't know (baby don't cry)
    I still cry baby over you and me (dry your eyes)

    Late at night like a little child (why is it bothering him and why ?)
    Walkin' around (you know you're too fly to be crying)
    In my new friend's home
    On my tippy toes (on my tippy toes)
    So that he won't know (so that he won't know)
    (Dry your eyes) I still cry baby over you and me (I still cry)

    I don't get no sleep, I'm up awake
    Can't stop thinking of you and me
    And everything we used to be
    And could have been so perfect
    Still I cry, I cry, I cry (you know, yeah)
    Oh I gotta get me some sleep
    Baby and I cry, cry, cry, cry (dry your eyes, no baby don't cry)
    (Baby don't cry) Baby and I cry (on my tippy toes)
    Cry (so that he won't know)
    Cry (I still cry)
    Cry

    Late at night like a little child
    Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
    On my tippy toes, so that he won't know
    I still cry baby over you and me

    Late at night like a little child
    Wandering around alone in my new friend's home
    On my tippy toes, so that he won't know
    I still cry baby over you and me

    Baby and I cry, cry, cry, cry
    Baby and I cry (on my tippy toes)
    Baby I cry (so that he won't know)
    I still cry
