Did You Cry
Jesse Powell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate to see when you cry
That sad look in your eyes
All those tears on your face
You ain't got nothin' to say

You've been caught by surprise
And you ran out of lies
When I ask questions why
All that you do is cry

You say it's 'cause you love me, say it's cause you
care
The same tears you cry, girl, to me when you swear
That we will never be torn apart, but here we go
All these tears you keep cryin', girl, I've got to
know

Did you cry when you were lovin' him (Did you cry)
When you said that he was just your friend
Did you cry when you were on the phone (Did you cry)
Makin' plans 'cause I wasn't at home

Did you cry all the times that you lied (Did you cry)
Lied about where you've been last night
I can't believe all these tears fallin' down
If you didn't cry then, then don't you cry now

You must think I'm a fool
Tryin' to play me like you do
To deceive me this way
Girl, you ought to be ashamed

I've been taught, girl, by you
I can't trust what you do
'Cause you lie and you cheat
Then you cry so easily

You say it's 'cause you love me, say it's cause you
care
The same tears you cry, girl, to me when you swear
That we will never be torn apart, but here we go
All these tears you keep cryin', girl, I wanna know

Did you cry when you were lovin' him (Did you cry)
When you said that he was just your friend
Did you cry when you were on the phone (Did you cry)
Makin' plans 'cause I wasn't at home

Did you cry all the times that you lied (Did you cry)




Lied about where you've been last night
I can't believe all these tears fallin

Overall Meaning

down
If you didn't cry then, then don't you cry now


In Jesse Powell's song "Did You Cry", the singer confronts his partner about her deceitful behavior and wonders if she cried when she was with another man. He hates to see her cry, but he can no longer ignore the lies and asks her if she cried when she was making plans with someone else or lying about her whereabouts. He no longer trusts her tears because he knows she uses them to manipulate him. Despite her excuses that she loves him and cares for him, he cannot ignore the betrayal anymore.


The lyrics of this song vividly capture the tension in a relationship when one partner begins to suspect the other of being unfaithful. The singer's doubt and suspicion are palpable, and he confronts his partner directly. Her tears, which would have once moved him, now seem like a ploy to avoid the truth. The composition of the song (slow rhythm, smooth vocals, and a soulful melody) adds to the poignancy of the lyrics, making it a classic R&B ballad.


Overall, "Did You Cry" is a powerful song about deception and betrayal in a relationship. It sheds light on the pain and uncertainty that comes with infidelity and how it can erode the trust that was once the foundation of a partnership.

Your ease at crying doesn't make up for your dishonesty


All the times that you lied
Every time you were dishonest


Lied about where you've been last night
Falsehoods about your whereabouts from the previous night


All these tears you keep cryin', girl, I wanna know
I want to know the reason behind the tears you shed
