Crying
Nicole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time
When I was so brocken hearted
Love wasn't much
Of a friend of mine
The tables have turned
Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love
Was the killing kind
Listen all I want
Is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know
By the way that I got kissed

I was cying when I met you'
Now I'm trying to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was crying just to get you
Now I'm dying cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

It's down on me
I got tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Boy I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
Waht you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

I was crying when I met you
Now I'm trying to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was crying just to get you
Now I'm dying cause I let you
Do what you do to me

'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
Till you give your heart away
Just to give your heart away

I was crying when I met you
Now I'm trying to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was crying just to get you
Now I'm dying just to let you....
Do what you do down on me

I was cying when I met you'
Now I'm trying to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was crying just to get you




Now I'm dying cause I let you
Do what you do down on me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Nicole's "Crying" portrays the sad story of a woman who was looking for love but ended up being heartbroken. At the beginning, she states that she was broken-hearted and love was not her friend, but as the tables turned, she found a love that was consuming her. The singer then proceeds to mention that all she wants is someone she can't resist, and she already knows everything she needs to know just through the way she got kissed. The woman then talks about how she was crying when she met her love interest, and now she's trying to forget him, as his love is sweet misery to her.


The chorus repeats the fact that she was crying just to get him, but she's now dying because she let him do what he did to her. She then reveals that she regards them as partners in crime, and he has that certain something that takes her breath away. She says that if their love went up in flames, it's something that she can't resist. In essence, her love interest has the power to take her high, but he's also the one that can bring her down.


Overall, the "Crying" song is a tale of how love can bring both happiness and pain, and how sometimes, one can fall for someone who would eventually hurt them.
