Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now cry for me
No no I don't love you anymore
Cry for me
Well, you had your fun
(backround: Don't go baby)
With someone knew
Now you want me to take you back
(backround: Don't go baby)
We're all through
Cuz now im leaving
No no make believin'
You made a fool of me
So now I'm leaving you
Loved you so
(backround: Don't go baby)
Much more than you'll ever know
(backround: Don't go baby)
But you just cheated and you lied
(backround: Don't go baby)
Go and cry for me
Well you,
Knew it from the start
Someday you'd break my heart
Now we're all through
So cry
Cry for me
(backround: Won't you cry for me baby)
Just the way I cried for you
(backround: Won't you cry for me baby)
Just the way I cried for you
So go on and cry, cry for me
