Crybaby
MagnetHead Lyrics

What you're cryin' for?
MagnetHead is wondering why someone is crying.

You know you look too damn good to be cryin'
MagnetHead thinks the person crying is too attractive to be crying.

When I think of our untimely end
MagnetHead starts singing about his feelings towards a failed relationship.

And everything we could have been
MagnetHead is reminiscing about the future he and his lover could have had.

I cry, baby I cry
MagnetHead expresses that he cries over what could have been.

So it's five AM and
MagnetHead is describing the time he's awake and bothered.

I still can't sleep
MagnetHead can't sleep even after taking medicine.

Someone's clinging to me
MagnetHead has someone next to him but doesn't feel the same for them as he did his lover.

And it's bittersweet
MagnetHead's feeling towards being attached to someone he doesn't love isn't entirely negative.

Cause he's head over heels
MagnetHead's partner is deeply in love with him.

But it ain't that deep
Their relationship doesn't run as deep as MagnetHead's previous love.

I finally changed my number
MagnetHead cut off communication with his old flame.

Got a different pager
MagnetHead changed his contact information to avoid his old flame getting to him.

Then last Saturday
MagnetHead is recounting a time where he found out his ex was trying to communicate with him.

Your cousin called to say you're
MagnetHead got the message from the cousin of the person he was trying to avoid.

Probably because you see that
MagnetHead knows that his ex's attempt at communication was likely provoked by his current relationship.

I'm with someone new
MagnetHead has moved on and started a new relationship.

Sipping Bailey's Cream
MagnetHead is drinking to try and find relief from his emotional pain.

By the stereo
MagnetHead is sitting close to the music to try and drown out his thoughts.

Trying to find relief
MagnetHead is trying to find any method to lessen his emotional pain.

On the radio
MagnetHead listens to the radio hoping to hear something to ease his mind.

I'm suppressing the tears
MagnetHead is trying to hide his sadness.

But they start to flow
MagnetHead can't successfully hide his sorrow as the tears eventually flow.

Cause the next song I hear
The song on the radio triggers MagnetHead's emotions.

Is a song I wrote
The song on the radio was written by MagnetHead himself.

When we first got together
The song on the radio is a reminder of the time MagnetHead spent with his ex.

Early that September
MagnetHead is recalling when the events in the song occurred.

I can't bear to listen
The song on the radio is too painful for MagnetHead to listen to.

So I might as well drift
MagnetHead chooses to let his mind wander instead of listening to the song.

In the kitchen
MagnetHead moves away from the radio and into the kitchen.

Pour another glass or two
MagnetHead drinks more in hopes of avoiding his pain.

And I try to forget you
MagnetHead is trying to forget his ex.

Late at night like a little child
MagnetHead is comparing himself to a small child who's wandering around aimlessly.

In my new friend's home
MagnetHead is in his new partner's home.

On my tippy toes
MagnetHead tries to be quiet as he wanders around the house.

So that he won't know
MagnetHead's actions are hidden from his current partner.

I still cry baby
MagnetHead is still crying over his previous relationship.

Over you and me
MagnetHead is still not over his previous relationship.

Baby hear me when I say
MagnetHead starts a new verse directed to his past lover.

Let that man be on his way
MagnetHead tells his lover to let him move on.

Don't even waste your time
MagnetHead wants his lover to avoid him since there's no point in trying to rekindle their past relationship.

And worry how he handle thangz
MagnetHead thinks his ex need not worry about how he's doing.

(That ain't right) baby hear me when I say
MagnetHead thinks his ex should hear him out and move on.

A playa feelin' good today
MagnetHead is feeling great today.

(you know your too fly to be cryin')
MagnetHead thinks the person crying is too good-looking to stay sad.

Don't even waste your time watch how I handle (watch) thangz
MagnetHead wants his ex to watch him move on instead of trying to revisit their old relationship.

Man you're a fool for this
MagnetHead thinks his ex is being foolish for trying to get back with him.

But on the real dog I'm cool with this we do and this
MagnetHead is over his past relationship and is cool with where he is in life.

D-O-DOUBLE G-Y
MagnetHead references Snoop Dogg.

Kiss the girls and make them cry!
MagnetHead sarcastically references an old nursery rhyme about making girls cry.

(It's late)
The addition of '(It's late)' is a reminder of the time of day.

Do do do do do
A repeated melody line.

I don't get no sleep
MagnetHead reiterates his inability to sleep.

I'm half awake
MagnetHead is not fully alert due to his lack of sleep.

Can't stop thinking of you and me
MagnetHead is thinking of his past relationship instead of sleeping.

And everything we used to be
MagnetHead is thinking about how his past relationship was before it ended.

It could have been so perfectly
MagnetHead thinks his past relationship could have gone perfectly if it didn't end.

I cry
MagnetHead expresses how he's still crying over his past relationship.

Oh

I gotta give me some sleep

Cry

Baby and I
