What Don't Cry Is Better

Which one the original or the one wiht the alternate lyrics
just incase you forget i will put down the lyrics
Original:
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please dont cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight|
Now the alternate lyrics:
If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride, their
Back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood of your hands
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin'
It's driving you mad
If I was standing by you
How would you feel?
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real
Baby
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seems so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight, baby, maybe, someday
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight
im not sure i like them both
what about you guys?

I like the original better, the lyrics seem to make more sense to me then the alternitive lyrics.

I completely agree.
The original's lyrics seem to flow smoothly, like one single idea. The alt. version just seems unnatural to me for some reason.

The alternate version is still good though.

if there hadn't been 2 versions, do you think there would have been one long version. Maybe Don't Cry was just one long sog. I think it works better divided into 2 versions. I like them both

come on people, alternate is easily the best, but that's maybe 'cuz i myself is alternate
always when i sing along to don't cry the alternate comes automatic and i almost never listen to the original version..
lyrics like:
"Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands"
^great, and the way these lines below fits in to the music is amazing
"And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby"
awesome

I can think of a few reasons why, and It has nothing to do with Finks ability. Don't Cry sounds great on the UYI album, but has never sounded great performed, 'live from a vocal point of view', as Axl doesn't appear to be able to sing the word 'Cry' loudly. That's my take on it

I love them both. For some reason the alternate lyrics are more appealing to me. But, I listen to the original more because I find it easier to sing along to (badly) in the shower.

I prefer the alt version, except for the start of the last verse after the guitar solo:
I thought I could live in your world
as years all went by
just doesn't transition as well off of the guitar solo or have the same intensity of
And please remember that I never lied...

Its hard to say , but I think I love more alt lyrics , IMO they are more deep
and I think when Axl singed the alt lyrics it sounded more powerful

Ensename A Amarte by Roca Eterna claimed to be where this song was 'stolen' from, and if you listen to it, you can't help but deny there's certainly a lot of similarities!

I prefer the original, but the alt lyrics are pretty good.
Obviously the band felt that both versions were good enough for UYI.

and by the band you mean Axl...since at this point he more then likely owned the rights to the name following the 'Mr Brownstone' incident in LA in 1989
