Shangri-Las He Cried Lyrics:
[Mary: (spoken)]
I met him at the place we always meet.
He put his arms around me, he smiled.
[Mary: (sung)]
And when I told him,
I didn't love him anymore,
He cried (he cried).
And when I told him,
His kisses were not like before,
He cried (he cried).
I knew that our romance,
Was over and done,
But for him it had just begun.
And when I told him,
Another boy had caught my eye,
He cried (he cried).
And when I kissed him,
A kiss that only meant goodbye,
He cried.
(He cried.)
(He cried.)
(He cried.)
[Instrumental break.]
(He cried.)
(He cried.)
(He cried.)
Then I told him.
(He cried.)

(He cried.)
Back off, baby

[Fade.]
(He cried.)
Oh, Lord, what have I done?
(He cried.)

[1] Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss
[1a] , formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."]
[1a] Because Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.]
[2] Originally recorded and introduced as, "She Cried," by one of the
composers, Ted Daryll, in 1962. It was popularized by Jay & the Americans
the same year. Other covers (with gender-appropriate pronoun), include, Jay
Black, Billy Fury, The Gestures, David Hasselhoff, The Lettermen, The Lords
of Altamont, P. J. Proby, Rockin' Robins, Del Shannon, et al.]
