Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

If my baby don't come back to me soon

Here I lie, lie, lie, lie

By the light of the pale white moon

All the people pass me by

They can't see the tears in my eye

And I'm wondering why, oh why

Does my baby not return?

Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry

If my baby don't come back to me soon

Here I lie, lie, lie, lie

By the light of the pale white moon

All the tears I cry

They are falling now from my eye

And I'm wondering why, oh why

Does my baby not return?

Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

If my baby don't come back to me soon

Here I lie, lie, lie, lie

By the light of the pale white moon

All the tears I cry

They are falling now from my eye

And I'm wondering why, oh why

Does my baby not return?

She's only gone an hour ago, Richie

She's headed out to the shops

She's gone to get a packet of crisps

And a bottle of pop!

I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry

All the tears are gonna fall from my eye

And I'm gonna wonder why, oh why

Will my baby come back to me soon?
