A robber always takes

The dawn always breaks

And time will always pass

The fire burns the match

But baby, oh, baby

Why do you always cry, cry?

Did something make you sad?

Is it something I did?

Did someone ever hurt you?

If they did I'll strike them down

My darling, my one and only

Why do you always cry, cry?

I'll take you straight to Paris

Walk the Champs-Élysées

Ride a boat down the Amazon, yeah

Watch your favourite show on Broadway

My baby, oh, my baby

Why do you always cry, cry?

My baby, oh, my baby

Why do you always cry?

Is it something I've been missing?

A little glint in your eye?

A rising of the cheekbones?

Is that a curl of lips that I spy?

Oh baby, how I love to see you smile
