Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now cry for me
No no I don't love you anymore
Cry for me
Well, you had your fun
(backround: Don't go baby)
With someone new
Now you want me to take you back
(backround: Don't go baby)
We're all through
Cuz now im leaving
No no make believin'
You made a fool of me
So now I'm leaving you
Loved you so
(backround: Don't go baby)
Much more than you'll ever know
(backround: Don't go baby)
But you just cheated and you lied
(backround: Don't go baby)
Go and cry for me
Well you,
Knew it from the start
Someday you'd break my heart
Now we're all through
So cry
Cry for me
(backround: Won't you cry for me baby)
Just the way I cried for you
(backround: Won't you cry for me baby)
Just the way I cried for you
So go on and cry, cry for me
The song Cry For Me by The Four Seasons Daniel Reichard is about a man who was in love with a woman who cheated on him, and now he has no interest in her anymore. The chorus of the song comprises two lines that refer to the man's sense of humiliation and desire for vengeance: "I cried for you, now cry for me." He wants the woman to experience the same pain he did and have a taste of his own medicine.
The song tells the story of a failed love affair and the heartbreak it produced. In this song, the man perceives himself as the victim, and the woman is the cause of all his pain. He sings that he loved her more than she will ever know, but now she cheated and lied to him, and he wants her to cry for him. The verses are punctuated by a repeating "Don't go baby," which creates a sense of tension and desperation.
