Don't Cry, Baby
Love Renewed: Aretha's Tender Plea to Rekindle Romance
Lyrics
Don't cry, don't cry baby
Encouragement to the baby not to cry, possibly indicating a desire to comfort and reassure.
Don't cry baby
Reiteration of the plea to the baby not to cry.
Dry your eyes, and let's be sweethearts again
Encouraging the baby to stop crying and return to a loving relationship.
And oh, 'cause you know
Indication of awareness or realization about something.
You know I didn't mean
Clarification that actions or words were not intended to be hurtful or malicious.
To ever treat you so mean
Acknowledgment of past actions that may have been hurtful.
C'mon, c'mon sweetheart
Invitation to come closer or reconcile.
And let's try it over again
Proposal to start anew or give the relationship another chance.
And oh, don't cry
Repeated plea to prevent crying.
Don't cry baby
Reiteration of the desire for the baby not to cry.
Don't cry, don't cry
Another plea for the baby to refrain from crying.
Dry your eyes, and let's be sweethearts again
Repeating the encouragement to stop crying and reconcile.
And oh, 'cause you know I didn't mean
Further clarification of intentions to avoid harm.
To ever treat you so mean
Reiteration of regret for past hurtful actions.
C'mon, c'mon sweetheart
Continued invitation for reconciliation.
And let's try it over again
Continuation of the proposal to mend the relationship.
Don't cry, don't cry baby
Continued encouragement for the baby not to cry.
Don't cry baby
Reiteration of the plea to avoid crying.
Dry your eyes, and let's be sweethearts again
Emphasizing the desire to return to a loving relationship.
And oh, 'cause you know
Indication of awareness or realization about a situation.
You know I didn't mean
Reiteration of intentions to not cause harm.
To ever treat you so mean
Acknowledgment of past actions that may have been hurtful.
C'mon, c'mon sweetheart
Continued invitation for reconciliation.
And let's try it over again
Proposal to mend or restart the relationship.
And oh, don't cry
Additional plea to prevent crying.
Don't cry baby
Reiteration of the desire for the baby not to cry.
Don't cry, don't cry
Another plea for the baby to refrain from crying.
Dry your eyes, and let's be sweethearts again
Repeating the encouragement to stop crying and reconcile.
And oh, 'cause you know I didn't mean
Further clarification of intentions to avoid harm.
To ever treat you so mean
Reiteration of regret for past hurtful actions.
C'mon, c'mon sweetheart
Continued invitation for reconciliation.
And let's try it over again
Continuation of the proposal to mend the relationship.
