Please don’t apologize

Just let me wipe the tears away

Don’t mean to act surprised

If it’s all right I’d like to stay, yeah



I know that you are not a child

But there’s one thing that I love about you

Your style

Cry, please don’t cry

Cry, please don’t cry



I know you’re just sixteen

But looking all of twenty-one

(Twenty-one, you’ll be married with a gun)

Daddy would go to jail for you

If he thought you were having the wrong sort of fun



I know that you are not a child

But there’s just one thing I love about you

Your style

Cry, please don’t cry

Cry, please don’t cry



The moment that you’ve gone

You know that they will talk

But they’re wrong, and it makes me happy

Even when you’ve gone, you know I’ll carry on

‘Cos I’m strong, and it makes me happy



I know that you are not a child

But there’s one thing that I love about you

Your style

Don’t cry, please don’t cry

Cry, please don’t cry



(sax solo)



Cry, please don’t cry

Cry, please don’t cry

Cry, please don’t cry

Cry, please don’t cry

(Cry, cry, cry…)



FADE:

Cry, please don’t cry
