Nothing so blue as a heart in pain

Nothing so sad as a tear in vain



Ooh-ooh etc.



Let him walk on out if he wants to

He really doesn't deserve you

His loss is our gain so don't be blue

'cause stone blind and out of his mind

Is what he has to be, yeah



So, baby straighten up, come on and fly right

It's no catastrophe, yeah

I said now baby, baby don't cry

Baby, baby here's why-y

Love is here standin' by

Love is here standin' by





You trusted him and gave him your love

A love he proved unworthy of



Too bad it was him that you trusted

Too bad but you can't be disgusted

It's time that you got readjusted

And realized that tear-filled eyes

Can never stop him now, no, no, no

That man is on his way

I think he's gone to stay

You better drop him now, yeah



Oowee now, baby, baby don't cry, no, no

Baby, baby here's why

Because love is here standin' by

I say (Love is here standin' by )





All you've gotta do is dry your eyes long enough to see

That you have got the love you thought you had in him here in me

Love is hope, girl, love is strength

Here's someone standin' right beside ya

Who would go to any length to give you love true and deep

And hope you realize at last you found a love that you can keep

And only losers weep



So, (baby, baby, don't cry ) Oh, baby don't you cry now

(Baby, baby, don't cry ) Oh baby, let me tell you why now

(Baby, baby here's why) Don't you know that

Love is here standin' by

I say (love is here standin' by)



Your tears are shed in vain I said

So (baby, baby, don't cry ) C'
