Had my lunch all alone
Waited for you to phone
Said you’d call me at two
So about twenty of three
I had cocktails with Lee
Baby, I don’t cry over youStood me up in the rain
Tried to hurt me again
Bet you thought I’d be blue
I went out to a show
With a swell guy named Joe
Baby, I don’t cry over youThese foolish games you keep playing
Might work with somebody else
But I could have told you
Right from the start
No man is man enough
To break my heartIf you don’t come tonight
Think you’ll give me a fright
Tell you what I will do
I’ll put on my best gown
And go painting this town
Baby, I don’t cry over you(bridge)
These foolish games you keep playing
Might work with somebody else
But I could have told you
Right from the start
No man is man enough
To break my heartIf you don’t come tonight
Think you’ll give me a fright
Tell you what I will do
I’ll put on my best gown
And go painting this town
Baby, I don’t cry over youListen Jack your sweet Jill
Will be out with some Bill
Maybe I don’t cry over you
