letra:
When
I think about the good love you gave me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well, I know now, that you're not a plaything
Not a toy, or a puppet on a string
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Well, I know now, that you're not a plaything
Not a toy, or a puppet on a string
As I look back on a love so sweet
I cry like a baby
Oh, every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby
I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy, or a puppet on a string
I cry like a baby
Oh, every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby
I know now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy, or a puppet on a string
Today we passed on the street, and you
just walked on by
how my heart just fell to my feet
and like a fool I began to cry
how my heart just fell to my feet
and like a fool I began to cry
Oh when I think about the good love you
gave me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
I know now, that you're not a plaything
I cry like a baby, cry like a baby
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
I know now, that you're not a plaything
I cry like a baby, cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street
I cry like a baby, cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby, cry like a baby
I cry, I cry, I cry
I cry like a baby, cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby, cry like a baby
I cry, I cry, I cry
