Oscar Winning Tears.
Raye Lyrics

Hello, it's RAYE here
Introducing herself as the singer RAYE

Please get nice and comfortable
Asking the listeners to relax and settle in

And lock your phones
Requesting the audience to turn off their mobile devices

Because the story is about to begin
Explaining that she is about to tell a story

Ladies and gentlemen
Addressing the audience

I'm gonna tell you 'bout
Expressing her intention to share a story

One of the many men
Referring to one of her past relationships

Name is irrelevant
Stating that the person's name doesn't matter

Height is irrelevant
Stating that the person's height doesn't matter

He was a one out of ten
Describing the person as not desirable

I wish that I knew it then
Expressing regret for not realizing it earlier

I'm still recovering, uh
Indicating that she is still healing from the experience

Truly, I'm vulnerable
Admitting her vulnerability

I love a sentiment
Expressing her affection for emotional connections

Quickly, I opened up
Revealing that she quickly opened up to this person

I learned my lesson then
Acknowledging that she learned a lesson from the experience

Thought I was safe again
Believing that she was safe from heartbreak

Thought he was innocent
Believing that he was trustworthy and innocent

I was so wrong
Admitting that her belief was incorrect

I can't deny
She cannot deny

I was stuck in a daze
She felt lost and confused

Terrible phase
Referring to a difficult period

You was convincing though
Acknowledging that the person was convincing

Very believable
The person's actions appeared genuine

The role that you played
Referring to the person's deceptive behavior

So, I'll take this front row seat
Taking a metaphorical front row seat in the story

And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Granting permission to the person to continue

Cry those Oscar winning tears
Encouraging the person to cry dramatic and fake tears

Popcorn and I scream
Imagining eating popcorn while watching the person's performance

Oh, what a tragedy
Expressing the situation as a tragedy

It didn't have to be
Believing the situation could have been avoided

Look how you talk to me
Highlighting the person's disrespectful communication

Cursing and blasphemy
Referring to the person's offensive language

Cinematography
Comparing the situation to a film or performance

Get this on camera please
Requesting to capture the moment on camera as evidence

Or no one gon' believe this here
Stating that others may not believe the story without proof

I can't deny, I thought
She cannot deny that she believed

You were the man
Believing that the person was trustworthy and dependable

But you had a plan
Realizing that the person had ulterior motives

The fuck are you lying for?
Questioning the person's motivation for lying

Fuck are you crying for?
Questioning the person's reason for crying

You did it again, yeah, ah, ah, ah
Referring to the person's repetitive deceitful behavior

Tears (tears)
Referring to the person's tears

(Tears, cry those)
Encouraging the person to continue crying

You can miss me with the bullshit
Expressing disinterest in the person's lies and deception

I can see right through your (tears)
Seeing through the person's fake tears

Tears, baby
Referring to the person's tears once again

Nine o'clock entertainment
Referring to the situation as entertainment at a specific time

Oh, man, I wish I could tape it
Expressing a desire to record the situation

Mmm, sit down
Telling someone to sit down

No tissues
No need for tissues to wipe the person's fake tears

No string section
No need for dramatic music accompanying the person's performance

No tiny violin
No need for sympathy towards the person

For the last time, I'm your audience
Asserting that she is done being fooled by the person's performances

I'll take, this front row seat
Metaphorically reserving a front row seat to watch the person's act

And baby, baby, you can go
Encouraging the person to continue with their act

Ahead and cry those
Urging the person to keep crying

Baby
Addressing the person with a term of endearment

And baby, baby, baby
Repeating the address to the person

Would you really go ahead and
Questioning if the person would actually go ahead and

Would you go ahead and just cry?
Asking if the person would continue crying

Cry, cry, cry, cry those
Encouraging the person to cry intensely

Oscar, winning
Referring to the person's dramatic performance as award-worthy

Tears, baby (ooh, ooh, ooh, tears, cry those)
Once again, referring to the person's tears

(Go ahead, cry those, Oscar winning)
Urging the person to continue crying dramatically

And after his Oscar winning performance
Referring to the person's display as an award-winning act

I left the room and never saw him again
Leaving the person and never wanting to see them again
