Janis Joplin - Cry Baby (Alternate Version) Lyrics

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby
Welcome back home

I know she told you, I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did but I know she left you
And you swear that you just don't know why
Well, honey, I swear I'll always be 'round, if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, yeah
Oh, like you always seem to do

Don't you know, honey, nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do, who'll be willing to take your pain
And all your heartache, too? Honey, I swear I'll always
Always be 'round, if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, yeah, cry baby, yeah
Oh daddy, welcome back home, yeah

I know when you're sharp and 'round, babe
Seems like the grass always looks greener
When you're looking over there in somebody else's backyard
So I know what you're tryin' to tell me
When you say, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama

I've gotta go out shopping for my life
I've gotta find my, my own true third eye
'Hare Krishna' identity out there on the road there
And although it may be comfortable here
Sleeping in all your nice bed with all those satin sheets
And all that nice fur, eatin' all that chicken

Gettin' stoned, havin' a good time I have to go and rough it
I have to go to Africa or I have to go to Omaha
Or some place like that, I have to find myself, you know what I mean?
So there's this stud man walkin' around the fuckin' highways of America
With a pack on his back lookin' for his identity, right?

Well, I want to say baby don't you know you left your mama
Here at home? You left your good lovin' mama right here at home
And that should be Identity enough for any man

So I said, "Baby
I know that you're gonna come home to me someday"
And I'll be able to tell when you walk in my front door
I do, I just do believe that I can be lookin' in your eyes
So Lord, that man finally realize

So you can put your head on my shoulder
'Cause I know you got some more tears to share
Come on, let it go, so come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Honey, cry, cry baby, cry baby cry

Honey, when you got some more tears to shed
Honey, I won't let a man stand in your way, babe
You have to snap all your fear from the door house away dear
You just gotta just let it go, baby, come on
Honey cry, oh, cry to me, baby

Is it a hit or a miss?
