Cry Baby
Allison Iraheta Lyrics

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Addressing the person who's feeling sad, alone and rejected, the singer encourages them to cry and let their emotions out as a way of coping with their pain.

Honey, welcome back home.
The singer welcomes the person back to a safe and warm place, where they can be comforted and supported during their difficult time.

I know she told you,
The singer acknowledges and empathizes with the person's hurt caused by their former lover, who may have misled or deceived them in some way.

Honey I know she told you that she loved you
The singer highlights that the other person might have been told that they were loved by their ex, but now they feel shattered because of their departure and mixed feelings.

Much more than I did,
The singer confesses that their love might not be as strong as the ex-lover's, but that they still care about the person and want to help them recover from their heartbreak.

But all I know is that she left you,
The singer reminds the person that despite being told sweet promises, their ex-lover chose to walk away, leaving them confused and hurt.

And you swear that you just don't know why,
The singer sympathizes with the person who's struggling to understand why their relationship ended, why their ex left, and why they caused them so much pain.

But you know, honey I'll always,
The singer assures the person that their support and love are unconditional, and that they will always be there for them whenever they need them.

I'll always be around if you ever want me
The singer is letting the person know that they won't give up on them just because the other person is heartbroken, but instead will offer care and companionship.

Don't you know, honey,
This line repeats the previous tone and shows that the singer is trying to encourage and console the person that they can survive their present obstacles.

Ain't nobody ever gonna love you
The singer affirms to the person that no one could love them the way they try to do, and no one can replace the memories they shared with their ex, it is now all in the past.

The way I try to do ?
The singer validates that they have been the most ardent supporter of the person in the past, and they will continue providing the same level of care and comfort to help them recover.

Who'll take all your pain,
The singer pledges to remove the person's pain by providing a cushion of security and love, allowing for them to express their raw vulnerabilities without fear of judgment.

Honey, your heartache, too ?
The singer recognizes that the person is going through great emotional turmoil, they don't know how to deal with the heartache, and wants to be able to take some of the burden off their shoulders.

And if you need me, you know

That I'll always be around if you ever want me

Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
The singer is encouraging the person to let their emotions out in a constructive way in the hope that it will help them begin to heal.

Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.
This line emphasizes that this may have been advice given by someone who represents comfort and authority, such as a father, grandfather, or other mentor in their life, and that the person should follow that counsel now.

And when you walk around the world, babe,
The singer broadens the perspective of the person's current situation, showing how applicable this is to a larger number of people and others' experiences.

You said you'd try to look for the end of the road,
The singer highlights the person's objective of finding their destination, 'the end of the road', which could be their hope for true love, stability or peace in their life.

You might find out later that the road'll end in Detroit,
The singer advises the person that the path they are on may not lead to where they hoped; they thought it would have a happy conclusion, but there might be an unexpected turn, end or disappointment.

Honey, the road'll even end in Kathmandu.
The singer suggests that the person might not always know where their journey will take them or what challenges it will pose entirely; it could lead them to an exotic or unexpected location. However, the point is to keep going.

You can go all around the world
The singer extends the idea of traveling to different locations to look for happiness, satisfaction, and meaning in life.

Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,
The singer highlights trying to find a meaningful calling in life, to find what would bring the person satisfaction, success, and fulfillment.

When you only gotta do one thing well,
The singer simplifies the previous line and highlights the fact that the person does not need to do many activities in their life to be successful, just one thing they excel at.

You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.
The singer makes it clear to the person that success is not about doing many things in life but being exceptionally good at at least one thing; so when the person finds that one thing they do well, they'll find success.

You got a woman waiting for you there,
The singer singles out the person's hope for a loving relationship, and reassuring them that there is still someone who cares about them.

All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman

And that'll be the end of the road, babe,
The singer emphasizes the person's journey and the objective that it will be successful, and the person will find their peace or happiness.

I know you got more tears to share, babe,
Recognizing that they have not yet cried enough, The singer understands that the person has been hurt so badly and it will take time to heal, but they should continue letting out their emotions instead of bottling them up.

So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
The singer repeats the encouragement to cry, letting out their emotions, so that the person can begin healing.

And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.
The singer concludes the song by reiterating that it's okay to cry, and that crying can be a healing process and a natural way of dealing with the pain.

And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
The singer offers consolation to the person, letting them know that even when they feel alone, they have someone who cares and is there for them.

I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
The singer is again using maternal language and inviting the person, like a mother would her child, to come for a 'warm hug, reassuring voice' when feeling lonely or in need of guidance.

And if you ever want a little love of a woman
The singer recognizes the person's need for love and affection, offering themselves as a viable option, reminding the person of their own worth and loveability.

Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
The singer uses a playful and loving tone to again offer comfort and reassurance to the person, asserting that it is okay to be vulnerable and seek comfort when needed.
