Lyrics

Take her if it has to be this way

Expressing acceptance of letting her go if necessary.

I know she doesn't really want to stay

Acknowledging that she may not truly want to remain.

But be careful how you hold her

Advising caution in how she is handled.

Please don't ever scold her

Pleading not to criticize or reprimand her.

She's my cream puff

Referring to her affectionately as "cream puff."


We've been together a long, long time

Highlighting a long history of being together.

I know her ways and she knows mine

Understanding each other's behaviors and habits.

So be careful how squeeze her

Cautioning against handling her roughly.

Please don't ever tease her

Urging not to playfully or mockingly provoke her.

She's my cream puff

Reiterating her endearingly as "cream puff."


I pray to god above her

Expressing a hope that a higher power watches over her.

She'll find another lover

Desiring that she finds love with someone else.

Who'll love her as much as i

Comparing the intensity of the speaker's love to the future lover's.

I only wanna make her happy

Stating the speaker's intention to bring happiness to her life.

Even though she made me cry

Admitting that she has caused emotional pain.


If things go wrong send her back to me

Offering to take her back if things don't work out.

I'll be as happy as I could be

Expressing joy at the prospect of her return.

'Cause I feel so lost without her

Conveying a sense of emptiness without her presence.

All the things about her she's my cream puff

Reaffirming affection by calling her "cream puff."


I pray to god above her

Repeating the hope for divine protection over her.

She'll find another lover

Wishing for her to find a new love who loves her equally.

Who'll love her as much as I

Comparing the intensity of love between the speaker and the potential new lover.

I only wanna see her happy

Expressing the speaker's desire for her happiness.

Even though she made me cry

Acknowledging the emotional pain caused by her actions.


If things go wrong send her back to me

Reiterating the willingness to welcome her back in difficult times.

I'd be as happy as I could be

Expressing the speaker's happiness at her potential return.

'Cause I feel so lost without her

Reemphasizing the emotional void felt without her.

All the things about her she's my cream puff

Endearingly referring to her as "cream puff."
