Cry Cry Cry
Judith Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you been hurting
For a long time
Seems like another day
That never ends
Oh, those long nights
Without a lover, so fine
A lover, yeah, but more than that
A true friend

Maybe they did things to hurt you
But baby, they don't deserve you
When all is said and done
A change is gonna come

I need you to cry, cry, cry
A little bit longer
I need you to try, try, try
To get by whatever comes your way
I need you to cry, cry, cry
A little bit longer
Now feel like the long day of the soul
But tomorrow's a new day

I hope and pray you will remember
One day, it's gonna be alright
But oh, oh, your heartache
Ain't gonna' last for forever
After the midnight cry
Comes the morning light

Baby you've been through the fire
But baby, you's a fighter
When all is said and done
A change is gonna come

I need you to cry, cry, cry
A little bit longer
I need you to try, try, try
To get by whatever comes your way
Cry, cry, cry
A little bit longer
Now feel like the long day of the soul
But tomorrow's a new day

Maybe they did things to spite you
But only two wrongs
Make a right to fools
When all is said and done
A change is gonna come
Change is gonna

If only you cry, cry, cry
A little bit longer now
I need you to try, try, try
To get by
I know you're suffering
All day long
But I bet you now
It'll make you strong
If you cry, cry, cry
Hmm, yeah
Cry, yeah
Cry

Judith Hill, has been killing it for a long time. She was set to do the "This Is It" tour with Michael Jackson before his sudden death, that's when I first learned of her. I love her voice. You are incredible, Judith.

Kevin Wells

I can see why Kelly Clarkson said she could not cover her. Wow. Thanks Kelly for introducing Judith to me. And my goodness, thanks Ms. Hill for a splendid song. I'm subscribed! Oh yeah, and your band is absolutely fantastic - all of them. Wow.

Shameless Maya

Get it Judith!!!
