Hats Off to Larry
Heartbreak Symphony: Larry's Departure Echoes Tears
Lyrics
Once I had a pretty girl
Reflecting on a past relationship with a girl.
Her name it doesn't matter
Emphasizing that her name is not relevant to the story.
She went away with another guy
Describing how the girl left him for another guy.
Now he won't even look at her
Noting that the new guy rejects her now.
Hats off to Larry, he broke your heart
Giving credit ("Hats off") to Larry for breaking her heart.
Just like you broke mine
Comparing the girl's actions to how she ended their relationship.
When you said we must part
Recalling the pain when she said they must part.
He told you lies
Highlighting Larry's deceitful behavior towards her.
Now it's your turn to cry, cry, cry
Expressing the expectation that she will now experience heartbreak.
Now that Larry said goodbye to you
Acknowledging Larry's departure from her life.
I know this may sound strange
Admitting a desire to reconcile, suggesting a possibility of change.
I want you back, I think you'll change
Expressing hope for a positive transformation in the girl.
But there's one more thing I gotta say
Indicating there's another important point to address.
Hats off to Larry, it may sound cruel
Repeating praise for Larry but acknowledging the cruelty in it.
But you laughed at me
Recalling the girl's laughter when ending their relationship.
When you said we were through
Pointing out the girl's lies and predicting her emotional pain.
You told me lies
Highlighting the girl's untruths and the resulting consequences.
Now it's your turn to cry, cry, cry
Reiterating the expectation of the girl experiencing sorrow.
Now that Larry said goodbye to you
Repeating Larry's departure and its impact on the girl.
Hats off to Larry, it may sound cruel
Repeating the sentiment of giving credit to Larry.
But you laughed at me
Recalling the girl's laughter and the breakup declaration.
When you said we were through
Emphasizing the consequences of the girl's lies.
You told me lies
Reiterating the idea that she will now experience heartbreak.
Now it's your turn to cry, cry, cry
Stressing the emotional pain she will go through.
Now that Larry said goodbye to you
Repeating Larry's departure and the impact on the girl.
To you, to you
Addressing the emotional consequences directly to the girl.
