I heard a cry at night
I heard him slam the door
There was a screech of tyres
But he'll be back for sure
Now through my apartment wall
I can hear her sweet tears starting to fall
So cry, baby
Wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry
And make a new start
Then came the telephone ring
It was a logical thing
I left it for a while
I let her hang up and re-dial
Then I picked up the telephone
And I said: "Don't worry honey
No, no, no, no, no, no, you're not alone"
So cry, baby
Wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry
And make a new start
It was a tale of woe
I'd heard it all before
And nothing I could say
Would ever ease the pain
Still I picked up the telephone
And I said: "Don't worry honey
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
You're not alone"
So cry, baby
Wash out your heart
Hang your life out to dry
And make a new start.
