Cryin' Game
Breaking Free: Sara Evans' Anthem Against Heartache
Lyrics
Do me right don't do me wrong
Expressing the desire for fair treatment in the relationship
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
Emphasizing the importance of being treated kindly to avoid separation
I know where to find the door
Awareness of the option to leave if mistreated
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Commitment to avoid participating in emotional manipulation
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Reiteration of the decision not to engage in emotional games
Tell me truth don't tell me lies
Requesting honesty and rejecting deceit
Don't want to hear no alibis
Rejecting excuses and wanting straightforward communication
I've been down that road before
Experience of previous deceitful situations
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Determination to avoid emotional manipulation
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Reiteration of the commitment not to engage in the crying game
Give me love I can believe in
Seeking genuine and believable love
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Desiring love that can be trusted
Show me you are ready and willing
Expecting a demonstration of readiness and willingness in the relationship
To stand by me like I stand by you
Reciprocal commitment to stand by each other
Bring me joy don't bring me pain
Asking for joy instead of pain in the relationship
I've seen enough of the pooring rain
Expressing the desire to avoid further emotional hardship
Show me love's what your living for
Requesting a demonstration that love is a priority in the partner's life
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Commitment to avoid participating in the crying game
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Reiteration of the decision not to engage in emotional games
Give me love I can believe in
Seeking genuine and believable love (repeated theme)
Give me love I'm able to trust in
Desiring love that can be trusted (repeated theme)
Show me you are ready and willing
Expecting a demonstration of readiness and willingness (repeated theme)
To stand by me like I stand by you
Reciprocal commitment to stand by each other (repeated theme)
Do me right don't do me wrong
Expressing the desire for fair treatment (repeated theme)
Treat me nice or I'll be gone
Emphasizing the importance of being treated kindly (repeated theme)
I know where to find that door
Awareness of the option to leave if mistreated (repeated theme)
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Commitment to avoid participating in emotional manipulation (repeated theme)
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Reiteration of the decision not to engage in emotional games (repeated theme)
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Final declaration of not participating in emotional manipulation
Ain't gonna play the crying game no more
Reaffirmation of the commitment not to engage in the crying game
