Lyrics
Let me tell you a secret
That's no secret anymore
My life's been wrecked so badly
I think the whole world ought to know
I would get up every morning
And I'll face the rising sun
When night falls like a shadow
My work is just begun
And they call me Cry Baby
But I cry cause I'm in pain
If I don't soon find somebody
I know I'm goin' insane
I did my best to keep my baby
Did everything I could
She treated me so rotten
I was a laughing stock of the neighborhood
Writer(s): Percy Mayfield
