You Cry Lyrics

I've been tryna to sleep

I've been on my feet for much too long

Maybe, I can put you down to sleep, baby

I listened to you weep

I swayed you in my arms from side to side

I try to make you stop with just a touch, baby

I kiss your head and

You close your eyes and slowly

I put you down so gently

I think it's over when it starts again

You cry, ooh, my baby you're awake

No, I can't sleep until I calm you down

I pray, ooh, just give me a little break

Oh, when you're like this, I can't sleep till dawn

I leave you in your crib

I go and get the bottle with the milk

I do it fast and hope you're still asleep, baby

The room is dark and calm

And all I wanna do is just relax

I never really thought it would be hard, baby

I kiss your head and

You close your eyes and slowly

I touch your head so gently

I think it's over when it starts again

You cry, ooh, my baby you're awake

No, I can't sleep until I calm you down

I pray, ooh, just give me a little break

Oh, when you're like this, I can't sleep till dawn

When I finally get to rest

I remember how I'm blessed

But here again, I face the test

You cry, ooh, my baby you're awake

No, I can't sleep until I calm you down

Ooh, my baby, you're awake

No, I can't sleep until I calm you down
