Cryin' Shame
Love's Lonely Game: Adam Gabriel's Cryin' Shame Unveiled
Lyrics
Well I'm crazy for wanting you
Expressing strong desire or infatuation for someone
Because I know how you play the game
Aware of the manipulative behavior in the relationship
It would change if you want it to
Suggesting that change is possible if the other person is willing
It's a lonely game, it's a crying shame
Describing the relationship as isolating and sorrowful
Well you call me up, because you know I care
Being available and caring for the person despite the games
And you need a shoulder to lean on, lean on me
Offering support and a shoulder to lean on
Well I know that game and I've had my share
Having experience with the manipulative behavior but still caring
But you don't want me, you don't want me
Acknowledging that the person doesn't want a genuine connection
I'm just a man, with my heart in my hand
Portraying vulnerability and a deep emotional investment
Like a dog without a bone, or a boy far from home
Using metaphors to emphasize feelings of emptiness and longing
And I know it's your way, I can't ask you to stay
Accepting the person's way of life but expressing desire for them to stay
But it won't change my mind, want to make you mine
Commitment to the relationship despite potential challenges
Well I'm crazy for loving you
Reiterating the strong emotional attachment despite knowing the games
Because I know how you play the game, you're playing games
Highlighting the ongoing manipulative behavior and games being played
It would change if you want it to
Repeating the possibility of change if the other person desires
It's a lonely game, it's a crying shame
Emphasizing the loneliness and sorrow in the relationship
I'm just a man, with my heart in my hand
Reiterating the vulnerability and emotional exposure
Like a dog without a bone, or a boy far from home
Using metaphors to express a sense of emptiness and distance
And I know it's your way, I can't ask you to stay
Acceptance of the other person's choices with a desire for them to stay
But it won't change my mind, want to make you mine
Commitment to the relationship and the wish to make the person theirs
I'm just a man with my heart in my hand
Reiteration of vulnerability and emotional exposure
Like a dog without a bone or a boy far from home
Using metaphors to convey a sense of emptiness and being away from home
And I know it's your way, I can't ask you to stay
Acceptance of the other person's choices with a desire for them to stay
But it won't change my mind, want to make you mine
Commitment to the relationship despite potential challenges
Well I'm crazy for loving you
Expressing strong desire or infatuation for someone
Because I know how you play the game, you're playing games
Highlighting the ongoing manipulative behavior and games being played
I would change if you want me to
Repeating the possibility of change if the other person desires
But it's a lonely game, it's a crying shame
Emphasizing the loneliness and sorrow in the relationship
