The newly married Suzanne Casale Melone (aka Lil Suzy) was born on March 1st, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York. Her career began at the very young age of five when an agent spotted her performing at Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, where she performed cover hits of superstars such as Madonna, Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper. Soon after, she was being booked to perform at various New York nightspots, including the infamous Studio 54 where she rocked the crowds at that tender age.

1987: She was signed to her very first record contract at age eight and even performed on "Star Search" in. For her to be a part of that show was a great accomplishment for such a young and talented little lady. Her first single entitled "Randy" was released during that time by Fever Records and she went on to perform at various events with other popular freestyle legends such as The Cover Girls, Judy Torres and Cynthia. Eight-year-old Lil Suzy even performed at the album release party of The Cover Girls debut album at the popular New York City Night Club 1018.

1991-1992: At the age of 12, her very first album "Love Can't Wait" was released. She had her very first hit single "Take me in your Arms" at the age of 13, which became a huge Freestyle dance hit. The single was her first to go gold and reached ..1 on Billboards Dance chart. The song was also the first song that Lil Suzy filmed a music video to. Although the title track "Love Can't Wait" (which was recorded a year before "Take Me") was only a B side to her first hit, the song also became very popular. The track "Falling In Love" was released as a cassette single in Germany in October of that year. Suzy also received an award for "Best New Dance Artist of 1992". That year will always be the year Lil Suzy got her first taste of success.

1993: Lil Suzy released a remake cover version of Vickie Sue Robinson's classic disco song "Turn the Beat Around" and released a music video for the single. After her follow up album, "Back to Dance" was released, Suzy and her parents decided that they take control of her career and not renew the contract with her producers at that time. They opened Empress Records, a company in which Suzy became the youngest president of a record label in the music business ever!

1994-1995: Suzy released her single "Promise Me" in which climbed onto the Billboards Hot 100. In April of 1995 she released her third album under the freedom of her own record label. The album was entitled "Life Goes On" and she then released the single "Now and Forever". In December of 1995 she released a eurodance track single called "When I Fall in Love". The single was accompanied by her third music video. This popular song received heavy radio rotation and was different than anything Suzy had recorded previously. Suzy also performed on the nationwide talk show Jenny Jones while continuing her studies at a local High School in Staten Island, New York.

1996-1997: These years brought more dance hits from Lil Suzy, hits which she continued to perform at popular nightclubs throughout the the U.S. and Canada.

Suzy co-wrote the funky "tango" inspired dance track "Can't get you out of my mind ", which was released in the summer of '97 and became a big club hit. With lyrics like "....you think you can handle my body....", her music was now more mature and dancier than ever.

1997-1998: The "Paradise" album was released in August of 1997 and was not the "Lil" Suzy everyone expected. With this album she entered a new direction and co-wrote two tracks.

One of the tracks off the album entitled "Love Letter Lost" was co-written and co-produced by dance artist Crystal Waters. The tracks on the album were also of various dance genres. From Freestyle to house, to eurodance to funky rhythms, this marked Lil Suzy's best work to date. The single "Memories", was a freestyle cover of Netzwerks big hit and was released in 1997.

Unfortunately, this very hot "underground" club track was not released as a single. The song was supposed to have been released in October of 2001 by Empire/BMG who bought the track for release but just sat on it. Suzy then recorded the song "Just A Freak", which featured fellow artist Stephanie.

Still I Cry
Lil Suzy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will my love
You came to me
If only last long
It wasn't complete for me
I was let go, waiting my pain
Boy, now I know
You won't be the same
I told you, to hold me

won't you ever let me go
If I wait for your heart
You come back to me
And give me your love

Still I cry
will that without your love
whenever still in my life
You never touch my touch for you now
Still I crying, I cry
will that without your love
only you never steal my heart
You never turn my touch anytime to open my eyes

I say goodbye
You came to me
Didn't last long
I try not meant to be
Have to move on, never again
This time I sure
You won't be the same
If I told you, to hold me
Boy ever let me go
If I break up your heart

You come back to me
And give me your love

The lyrics to "Still I Cry" by Lil Suzy delve into the themes of love, heartbreak, and longing. The song tells the story of a person who had a fleeting romantic encounter with someone who meant a lot to them. However, despite the brief nature of their relationship, the person is heartbroken and still yearns for their love.

In the first verse, the lyrics express the initial excitement and hopefulness of the person when their love interest came into their life. They were filled with anticipation, but unfortunately, the relationship didn't last long and didn't fulfill their emotional needs. They were left waiting in pain, realizing that things would never be the same between them.

The chorus emphasizes the ongoing pain and longing the person feels without their love interest. They continue to cry and mourn the absence of their love, even though they remain in their life. The lyrics imply that the love interest doesn't reciprocate their feelings, as they never touch or steal the person's heart.

In the second verse, the person has come to terms with the fact that they need to say goodbye and move on. They acknowledge that the relationship was not meant to be and now have to focus on healing and moving forward. They are confident that this time things will be different and the love interest won't have the same effect on them.

The bridge reiterates the plea for the love interest to hold onto them and not let them go. The person is willing to wait for their heart to change and for them to return with love. There is a longing for the love interest to come back and give their affection to the person who still yearns for their love.

Overall, "Still I Cry" portrays the raw emotions of a person who experienced a short-lived, unfulfilled relationship and is left heartbroken and longing for the love they once had. It speaks to the universal experience of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from a painful romantic connection.
