Close your eyes, sweet baby
Now don't you cry
Everybody gets their heart broke, sweet baby
Sometimes
So he left you for another fool
Yes, a fool
For loving him from the start
Ask yourself what's more important
Him or the broken pieces of your heart?
Sweet baby

Stand tall, sweet baby
Don't you fall
You ain't the only one getting beat down
It happens to us all
The road you choose to walk in this life
Is the one that leads in to the next
So, sweet baby, stand tall
Stand tall
Sweet baby

Sweet baby
Hold your tears back now
Better days gone come your way soon, oh yes sweet baby
Some way, somehow
Oh, sweet baby

Walk faster, sweet baby
Don't let those bad boys catch you now
Those things that they would have you do
You been done known better
Oh, and how
How can you sleep knowing that you and a fool
Sing in the same key?
Walk faster, sweet baby
Strive to be the best that you can be
Sweet baby
Oh, sweet baby

Sweet baby, hold your tears back now
Better days gone come your way soon
Oh yes, sweet baby
Some way, somehow
Oh, sweet baby
Better days gone come your way, yeah

Sweet baby
