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.)
Then I kissed him goodbye.
(He cried.)
Back off, baby4.
Fade.

1Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss1a, 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."

1aBecause 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.

2Originally 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.
