Cry Cry Cry
Twilight of Regret: Loretta Lynn's Cry Cry Cry Revelations
Lyrics
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
Referring to a common knowledge of going to a certain place when the day ends.
I think you only live to see the lights uptown
Suggesting the person lives for the excitement of city lights.
I wasted my time when I would try try try
Expressing regret for investing time in futile efforts.
Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry cry cry
Warning that when the allure of city lights fades, there will be sorrow.
Soon your sugar babies will all be gone
Anticipating the departure of those who depend on the person.
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
Imagining a lonely future when the person is abandoned.
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye bye bye
Declaring the intention to say goodbye when sought after.
When I turn around and I walk away you'll cry cry cry
Describing the emotional response of the person being left behind.
You're gonna cry cry cry and you cry alone
Predicting the individual will experience deep, solitary sorrow.
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own you're gonna cry cry cry
Emphasizing the inevitability of tears when abandoned and forgotten.
I lie awake at night and wait till you come in
Expressing anticipation and waiting for the person to return at night.
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Noting a brief stay before the person leaves again.
Every question that I ask I git a lie lie lie for every lie you tell you're gonna cry cry
Highlighting a pattern of dishonesty and the emotional consequences that follow.
When your fickle love gets on oh no one will care for you
Predicting a lack of care for the person when their love is unreliable.
When you come back to me for a little love that's true
Offering a conditional acceptance of genuine love when sought later.
I'll tell you no and then you'll ask me why why why
Explaining the refusal and the forthcoming questioning of the decision.
When I remind you all of this you'll cry cry cry
Linking past dishonesty to future regret and sorrow.
You're gonna cry cry cry and you'll cry and then
Reiterating the prediction of emotional distress and loneliness.
It'll hurt when you think of a fool you've been
Indicating the emotional pain upon realization of foolish actions.
You're gonna cry cry cry you're gonna cry cry cry
Repeating the expectation of intense emotional response.
