[Verse 1]
Your ma said you cried in your sleep last night
Your ma said you cried in your sleep last night
Yeah, shoulda seen the look in her eye
I had to tell her some little white lies

[Verse 2]
I know I haven't been so true to you
I know I haven't been so true to you
Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry no more
Ain't gonna be the way it was before, no

[Bridge]
Ooh, I love you, ooh, I love you
Let me kiss you, let me hold you tight
Ooh, I love you, ooh, I love you so much

[Verse 3]
That my ma said I cried, my ma said I cried
My ma said I cried in my sleep last night
Yeah, don't you cry no more
No, it ain't gonna be the way it was before
Yeah, yeah, yeah
