I Love It When You Cry
Steve Aoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As when I am in this bed together
How you gonna say nothing
Baby you can stay this numb forever
Hit it from the back do me like that
Boy that really ain't enough
There's something to say
It's sexy when you're joking of
I love it when you cry
It shows that you're alive
I love it when you cry
The tears bring out your eyes
Uh, the tears bring out your eyes
The tears bring out your eyes
Baby when you say my name
Say it like you really really want it
I want you to feel again
Soldier boy don't be so diamond hearted
Hit it from the back do me like that
Boy that really ain't enough (That really ain't enough)
There's something to say
'Bout feeling no pain
It's sexy when you're joking of
I love it when you cry
It shows that you're alive
I love it when you cry
The tears bring out your eyes
Uh, the tears bring out your eyes
The tears bring out your eyes
The song "I Love It When You Cry" by Steve Aoki and Moxie Raia is about two individuals who feel distant from each other even when they are physically close. The first two lines, "Feels like you're a world away, as when I am in this bed together", depict this feeling of disconnect. However, this distance is not the only issue - there is also a lack of emotional communication. The line "How you gonna say nothing, Baby you can stay this numb forever" implies that one of them is not expressing their emotions or thoughts to the other, which is leading to this disconnection.
The chorus, "I love it when you cry, it shows that you're alive", reveals that the singer wants the other person to show some emotion and be vulnerable. The line "The tears bring out your eyes" suggests that the singer wants to see some authenticity and real emotion from the other person. The second verse talks about how the singer wants the other person to be more engaged physically and emotionally by urging them to "Say [their] name like [they] really want it" and "feel again." The ending line, "Soldier boy don't be so diamond-hearted," highlights how the singer wants the other person to shed their emotional barriers and be more open.
Overall, the song is about the importance of emotional connection and how it can bring two people closer together, even when they feel far apart. It emphasizes the idea that vulnerability and authenticity bring people closer and that it's okay to express emotions.

Feels like you are worlds away
As we’re lying in this bed together
Are you gonna say nothing
Baby you can stay, there’s numb forever
Hit it from the back
Do me like that
Boy that really ain’t enough
Theres something to say about being in no pain
It’s sexy when you’re choking up
I love it when you cry
It shows that you’re alive
I love it when you cry
The tears bring out your eyes
The tears bring out your eyes
Baby when you say my name
Say it like you really really want it
I want you to feel again
Soldier boy don’t be so diamond hearted
Hit it from the back
Do me like that

Nothing to say about being in no pain
It’s sexy when you’re choking up
I love it when you cry
It shows that you’re alive
I love it when you cry
The tears bring out your eyes
