Lyrics
Don't cry

Alright, you sing it and I'll show you how
My voice would've made an unbelievable better hook (oh, ok, George)

I can't stand to see you cry
(I can't stand to see you cry)
It tears (stand to see you cry)
I can't stand to see you cry, no, baby, no

Babe-babe

Babe-babe
I can't stand to see you cry
I can't stand
Babe-babe

Babe-babe
I can't stand to see you cry
I can't stand to see you cry
I can't stand
