[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
She was a shy girl from the lonely street
She had no job to do, no friends to meet
She'd sit in silence in her empty room
Dream of her childhood and invented truths

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
He was a good boy from the other side of town
Said he could treat her right, said he could win her 'round
Her morning sickness and the kick inside
The phantom kisses of the phantom bride

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Bell]
And in her mind she'd drift away
A secret place to steal away

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry
Let me wipe away the tears from your eyes
Don't you cry, don't you cry...
