cry for love
Pop (Iggy) Lyrics

Status seekers, I never cared
I never cared for those who are obsessed with status and material possessions

Once I found out they never dared
I found out that they lacked the courage to take risks and make a real impact on the world

To seize the world and shake it upside down
To make a significant change in the world and challenge the status quo

And every stinking bum should wear a crown
Even those who are considered the lowest in society deserve to be recognized in their own right

Sayin' I cry for love
I express my desire for love and connection

Till all the plates are broken
I am willing to express my emotions so strongly that everything around me feels the impact

Cry for love
Expressing my deep yearning for love and connection

Until my eyes are soakin', yeah
To the point where my eyes are red from tears and emotions

On every salmon morning, yeah I
Every day, at every opportunity, I feel the need for love and connection

'Cause imitation's boring, cry for love
I want authentic love and connection, not a shallow imitation

Bad tv that insults me freely
I feel insulted by the shallow entertainment that is often presented on TV

Still, I know what I'm dyin' to see
Despite this, I know what I truly want and need

In searching for a meaningful embrace
I am looking for deep emotional connection and intimacy

Sometimes my self-respect took second place
Sometimes I put aside my self-respect in order to pursue love and connection

I did what my heart told me
I followed my heart and expressed my emotions despite any potential consequences

Can't stand it when they scold me, yeah I
I cannot handle being criticized or reprimanded for expressing my emotions

Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
Like surfers who risk getting hurt for love, sometimes taking emotional risks can have negative consequences

Soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
People often do terrible things in the name of love, yet refuse to acknowledge it

If you're cryin' for love, well, that's ok don't sweat it
It's okay to feel emotional and express your desire for love and connection

If you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it, cry for love
Expressing your emotions and desires is a necessary step towards finding the love and connection you seek
