Lyrics: Sweeney Todd. A String Of Pearls. Cry Baby Cry.


So you want to leave this place
Shut up your shop and hide your face
cool off your pot and make amends
shave our heads dig up our friends

cry baby cry
cry baby cry
cry baby cry
your just a cry baby

take up retirement and hide away
ask forgiveness kneel down and pray
cut my suit from sack and ashes
purge my soul with forty lashes

just a cry baby cry
just a cry baby cry
cry baby cry
your just a cry baby

So my Lovett now you see
what this would do to me
listen as the clock strikes twelve
your all alone your by your self
No body but me baby
