don't cry
TEN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry I'm not good at saying goodbyes
But I love when I see you smile And I'm just wishing you're doing alright
Sipping Henny and I'm rolling with my paper Swerving in the Benz and i'm whipping like a racer
I just wanna be with you all night long
I don't give a fuck when you're calling my phone
And this shit is coming straight up from a movie You know that when I'm here, there's nothing that can move me
Cause I'm sick and tired of the lies, please just tell me the truth I'll be doing whatever, whatever for you
Pick your head up, baby, please don't cry I'll be doing the best for you when I'm around
I will give you my heart, or at least I will try
But I'm feeling something, the connection is right
Baby, don't cry when I'm throwing all them stones Baby, goodnight when I'm talking on the phone
Baby, hear me when I'm all alone
Just listen to me when I'm singing this song
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry I'm not good at saying goodbyes
But I love when I see you smile
And I'm just wishing you're doing alright
Sipping Henny and i'm roll it with my paper Swerving in the Benz and I whip it like a racer
I just wanna be with you all night long I don't give a fuck when you're calling my phone
Calling my phone, damn, I think that I need you When I'm alone, all I need is to see you
Feeling so proud when I see how we've grown I look at the progress I've made on my own
I've been stacking up my cash, I've been living my life fast It's like living in a movie, you get stuck in your past
I know I'm possessive about you, it's clear
There's a reason I'm holding you close to me, dear
But please don't you cry, just get rid of your tears This time it's our turn, so we call it a year
Don't cry, don't cry I'm not good at saying goodbyes
But I love when I see you smile
And I'm just wishing you're doing alright




Sipping Henny and i'm right rolling with my paper Swerving in the Benz and I whip it like a razor
I just wanna be with you all night long I don't give a fuck when you're calling my phone
