Cry For Me Lyrics

Lenny get these feelings off your chest
Speak your fears and put them to the test
Let it flow down from your eyes tonight
Give me shorter fights and longer nights
Lenny get these feelings off your mind (off your mind)
Punch the clock there’s no time to rewind (to rewind)

‘cause her memory’s a cigarette (cigarette)
And you’re smoking it just to forget

Why don’t you cry for me
Don’t you cry for me this time
Baby don’t you try to be
Just
Anyone you’re not
& let it out. Let it out
Why don’t you cry for me (cry for me this time)
Cry for me
(cry for me this time)
She wants it
I’m on it (‘cause she wants it)
Water keeps on running
Keeps coming (keeps on running)
She said “that’s when you cry out loud (cry out loud)
And now you gotta let it out”
Why don’t you cry for me
Don’t you cry for me this time
Baby don’t you try to be
Just
Anyone you’re not
& let it out
Let it out
Cry For me
(don’t you cry for me this time) cry for me
(cry for me this time)
Don’t you cry for me
Just another night
Gotta let it out
Stare into the sun
Stare into the light
‘till the heat keeps drying out your eyes
Gotta let it out
Gotta make you cry
Just another night
Gotta let it out
Stare into the sun Stare into the light
‘till the heat keeps
Drying out your eyes
Gotta let it out
Why don’t you cry for me (don’t you cry for me)
Don’t you cry for me this time baby don’t you try to be
Just
Anyone you’re not & let it out
Let it out
Why don’t you cry for me
Don’t you cry for me this time
Baby don’t you try to be anyone you’re not & let it out
Let it out
You gotta let it out
(Cry for me)
(cry for me)
(cry for me)
(cry for me this time)

Genius Answer

HUMO “‘Cry For Me’ is een erg funky popnummer geworden.”

Coorevits «We proberen altijd goeie popsongs te maken, zo dansbaar mogelijk. We zijn ondertussen allebei betere muzikanten geworden en gunnen onszelf meer vrijheid. De baslijn van ‘Cry For Me’ is wat funkier dan gewoonlijk – een rechtstreeks gevolg van het spelplezier bij Compact Disk Dummies.»
