(When you cry) when you cry
(Boy I'll cry) boy I'll cry
(Don't let go) don't let go
(Or I'll die) ooh
When you cry, when you cry
Baby I cry
And if you take your love away
I'll just die
If you love me once
I'll love you twice
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
There's no better place, I'd rather be than in your arms
Holding you close to me
Looking in your eyes, let's me know
That you'll always be here
And your love aint going nowhere, no
When you cry, when you cry
Baby I cry
And if you take your love away
I'll just die
If you love me once
I'll love you twice
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
It would break my heart
If you went away
And I don't think that I
Could make it through the day, and I
Feel the way you do
And when you cry, baby I'm cryin' to, oh
When you cry, when you cry
Baby I cry
And if you take your love away
I'll just die
If you love me once
I'll love you twice
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
When I see tears fall from your face
(From your face)
Baby I know no one can take my pain
(Take my pain)
(And when I look in your eyes and see you cry)
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, I'll just die
When you cry, when you cry
Baby I cry
And if you take your love away
I'll just die
If you love me once
I'll love you twice
So promise me you'll love me for the rest of my life
When you cry, (when you cry)
Baby I'll cry, (boy I'll cry) oh, yeah
(Don't let go, or I'll die)
If you love me once, (if you love m once)
I'll love twice, (I'll love you twice) yeah, oh oh
