Please don't apologize, just let me wipe the tears away
Don't mean to act surprised, if it's alright I'd like to stay

CHORUS
I know that you are not a child
But there's one thing 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
Daddy would go to jail for you
If he thought you were having the wrong sort of fun

CHORUS

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, I know I'll carry on 'cos I'm strong
And it makes me happy

CHORUS

(Sax solo)

Cry, please don't cry
Cry, please don't cry
Cry, please don't cry
Cry, please don't cry

FADE
Cry, please don't cry
