Lyrics
So hot
Expressing intense heat or passion
And wet
Describing a wet or humid condition
Been days and days and days
Highlighting a prolonged period without sleep
Since I slept
Emphasizing the exhaustion from continuous activity
Been rollin'
Indicating a state of constant movement
And stumblin'
Revealing difficulties and challenges, possibly in life
And laughin' and laughin' and laughin'
Expressing alternating between laughter and crying
And cryin' and grumblin'
Conveying a mix of emotions, including grumbling and discontent
Oh my heart
Referring to emotional pain in the heart and mind
And my head
Describing a loud expression of distress throughout the entire being
Cryin' out loud through every lonesome cell
Suggesting a plea for attention and understanding
When you see me comin' try to be kind
Encouraging others to be kind when encountering the speaker's distress
When you see me comin' try to be kind
-When you see me comin' try to be kind
-Keep in mind I'm losin' mine
-When you see me comin' try to be kind
-Oh
Expressing heightened emotions or a cry for empathy
Cry me a river
Metaphorically asking for a deep and wide emotional response ("Cry me a river")
Cry me a river
-Cry me a river deep and wide
-Cry me a river
-Cry me a river
-Cry me a river make it deep and wide
-Now float down stream
-All the way down stream and go out
-With the tide
-When you see me comin' try to be kind
Reiterating the plea for kindness when the speaker is visible
When you see me comin' try to be kind
-When you see me comin' try to be kind
-Keep in mind I'm losin' mine
-When you see me comin' try to be kind
-Try, try, try
Repeated emphasis on the importance of trying to be kind
Yeah try, try, try
-Try to be kind
-Try, try, try
-Try, try, try
-Try, try, try
-Try to be kind
Final call to be kind, reinforcing the central theme of the song
