[Verse 2] I hate to see you cry Sad to say I've seen it We should say goodbye And this time really mean it When some time goes by I'm sure that you'll feel better But if she needs to cry Then maybe I should let her
[Outro] Ohhh, ohhh, OHHHHHH (just like all the other ones) Oh-ohh, ohh, OHHHHHH (just like all the other ones) Cry baby, cry baby Whenever she cry baby, cry baby Ah-ohhhh! Don't cry baby

Only on ‘Cry Baby’ do we get some real darkness when a roving-eye Cee-Lo dumps his girlfriend before playing the victim himself. It’s hard to sympathise with, but at least shows that, from a man who spends a large part of the album proclaiming love and being the good guy, his flaws still remain; he just may find that there’s no way of making them translate into pop sales. But which is crazier: to continue to try and ignore those unglossy imperfections, or to return to the shadows?
