Cry To Me
J.C. Rico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just don't get females
Now, do you?
What's in the heart
Is not on your head
Anywhere
Mate, you're too late
Now, were you?
It's out of my hands
Since you blew your last chance
When you played me
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that I'll fall
Mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain't all that
Maybe, there's no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I'm walking away
When I found out
How you messed me about
I was broken
Back then I believed you
Now, I don't need you
No more
The pic on your phone
Proves you weren't alone
She was with you, yeah
Now, I couldn't care
About who, what or where
We're through
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that I'll fall
Mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain't all that
Maybe, there's no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I'm walking away
Gonna have to cry me out
Gonna have to cry me out
Boy, there ain't no doubt
Gonna have to cry me out
Won't hurt a little bit
Boy, better get used to it
You can keep talking
But, baby, I'm walking away
Listen, I got the emails
I got the text
The answer's still the same
It's the way it is
I got to go
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that I'll fall
Mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain't all that
Maybe, there's no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I'm walking away
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that I'll fall
Mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
In "Cry to Me," J.C. Rico sings about someone who has hurt her, likely a significant other who cheated on her with someone else. The song opens with J.C. Ricco confronting her ex about his lack of understanding of women and emotions. The line "What's in the heart is not on your head" suggests that her ex could not empathize with her feelings, leading to the break-up. The chorus repeats the phrase, "You'll have to cry me out," indicating that he must show his feelings and prove to her that he's sorry for what he's done.
She calls out his behavior and reminds him he is not all that, despite his attempts to win her back. The bridge of the song describes the moment when she found out that he had been cheating on her, and it left her "broken." She talks about how she believed him then, but now she doesn't need him anymore. J.C. Ricco's message in this song is clear: she's moving on and he will have to show her real and honest emotion if he wants to win her back.
Overall, the lyrics portray the complexity of relationships and emotions. It can be difficult to trust and rely on someone who has betrayed you, as seen in the line "It's out of my hands since you blew your last chance when you played me." J.C. Ricco encourages taking control of your life and emotions by walking away from those who have wronged you, even if it may hurt.
