Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

1, 2, 3, 4, yeah
Polow the Don, listen girl
Mario, let's go, ladies

It?s like you caught up in a maze
You keep on going in circles, girl
You're trying to find your way out
But it's time I put on my cape and
Put that S on my chest
Girl I wanna come and save you

But I'm stuck in the middle of seeing you hurt
I know when you love him and you wanna make it work
And I can't help but think that I known you first
It?s getting louder, girl, can't ignore it no more

I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Crying out for me)
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(And it keeps on saying)

Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
(And it keeps on saying)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
(I can baby)
I can hear your heart crying out for me

Baby, I should've never caught no feeling
But baby having late night conversions on your sofa
You telling me how he played you out
Over and over, over and over

But I'm stuck in the middle of seeing you hurt
I know when you love him and you wanna make it work
And I can't help but think that I knew you first
It?s getting louder, girl, I can't ignore it no more baby

I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Crying out for me)
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Oh, yeah and girl, it?s saying)

Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
(Save me)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(I can hear it, yeah)
Girl, it?s crying, it?s crying

I don't wanna confuse things
(No)
But I just can't keep lying to myself
When you're holding me
(When you're holding me)

I can feel your pain
Oh baby, let me be your dream
I'm the answer come see me
(See me)
And you don't have to cry no more

Girl, I can hear your heart
I can hear your heart, girl, it?s crying
Won't you listen to your heart, baby?

I can hear your heart crying out for me
(Girl, it?s crying out for me)
I can hear your heart crying out for me
(And it?s saying)

Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
(Save me)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me
I can hear your heart, it's crying out for me

Girl, I can hear it, hear it crying for me
For me, for me, for me, me

Said ladies wave your hands in the air
Ladies wave your hands in the air





Oh baby, it?s crying for me
It?s crying for me, for me

Overall Meaning

The song "Crying Out for Me" by Mario talks about a girl who is confused and lost in a maze of emotions. She is trying to find her way out but is having a hard time doing so. The artist wants to come and save her from this confusion, but he is torn in between because he knows that she is in love with someone else. However, he can feel her pain and can hear her heart crying out for him. He wants to be the one to comfort her and give her a shoulder to cry on.


The lyrics are emotional and powerful, expressing a deep desire to help someone who is hurting. The artist uses metaphors such as putting on a cape and being a superhero to demonstrate his willingness to save the girl from her emotional turmoil. The chorus is particularly powerful, with the repetition of "I can hear your heart crying out for me" showing how the girl needs his help and attention.


The song is a classic R&B ballad that speaks to the heart of listeners. It is a reminder that when we are lost and confused, someone is always there to help us find our way. The emotions expressed in the lyrics can hit close to home for anyone who has been in a similar situation.

Give this man his flowers 💐 while he’s still living he’s truly a star ⭐️ we saw that at the vs for sure ‼️‼️

@tangemclemore177

What I can respect the most is, even tho he had the opportunity to be a big star, because he definitely had/has the authentic talent, he put his career on hold to take care of his mom.

@mskagome118

Some people have no respect for the craft; most of these mainstream singers don’t sound the same in person like they do on the radio/Albums. Some of their background singers will sang circles around them. Omarion‘s mainstream a group B2K/playing in movies while Mario started off as a background singer not many people know that. Omarion was talking a lot of trash before the versus battle he was the one who actually asked Mario to come on for versus.

Mario didn’t want to do it in the beginning. However Omarion kept poking the bear. It's just stuff that happens behind the scenes that we don’t see. I love both of them. Both of them have a wonderful catalog, however sometimes you better be careful what you ask for because you might get SERVED in Omarion‘s case. All everyone saw in this versus battle is Mario‘s reaction you didn’t see what caused the reaction.
