Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're more than just a Queen
Don't you know what you deserve baby
You're more than what we see
At least to me
You say you've been hurt before
Don't wanna hurt no more
Well you can just be comfortable with me
Don't wanna hurt no more
Well you can just be comfortable with me
And i said
Don't cry with those pretty eyes baby
Don't cry again, don't cry again, I said
Don't cry with those pretty eyes again
Don't cry again, don't cry again, don't cry again
I'm not the man who broke your heart
I'm the man that loves it all
Don't wanna let me in
Just to be hurt again
I'm not here to waste your time
You say you've been hurt before
Don't wanna hurt no more
Well you can just be comfortable with me
You say you've been hurt before
Don't wanna hurt no more
Well you can just be comfortable with me
Cause i said
Don't cry with those pretty eyes baby
Don't cry again, don't cry again, I said
Don't cry with those pretty eyes again
Don't cry again, don't cry again, don't cry again
