After 7 - Cryin' For It Lyrics






The first time I saw you
I knew I would fall in love
You filled an empty space in my heart
And that was rather special
Cause I never thought someone
Could make me fall in love from the start
The second time I saw you
I knew that I had been whupped
I could not get you out of my mind
And ever since that moment
Girl I haven't been much good
I won't rest until I know that you're mine

Don't you hear me crying for it
Don't you see my heart's on fire
Don't you feel me dying for it
Give me my hearts desire

The first time that I saw you
I knew that you were the one

You were everything a man could desire
And I've always been the kinda man
To get just what he wants
So please don't make me out as a liar
The second time I saw you
I just had to have you girl
I'd never seen someone look so good
And ever since that day
I just haven't been the same
I want you girl and I want that understood

Don't you hear me crying for it
Don't you see my heart's on fire
Don't you feel me dying for it
Give me my hearts desire

And I won't be any good
If I can't have you now
If there's any way you could
Come to me now
I'd give you anything
And I do mean everything
And that means anything you heart desires

Don't you hear me crying for it
Don't you see my heart's on fire
Don't you feel me dying for it
Give me my hearts desire

    IT GREAT TO HEAR AFTER 7 AGAIN
    AND SO MANY OTHER RECORDING ARTIST THAT WERE SOMEWHAT

    LOST IN TRANSITION, DUE TO
    THE RAPPERS & DISCO ERA

  13. I.... M....

    I really wish I was born in this era... music was SO meaningful and romantic! 😫 I’m only 18 and my friends look at me like “wth are you listening to” when I play After 7... what they’re missing out on!

    I.... M....

    I play a variety of music for my grandkids especially for this reason.

  14. e.... s....

    simplesmente amo esse grupo

  15. J.... C....

    I remember buying this CD when it was first released. It took me FOREVER to move past this song. I programmed it to repeat for the longest time. Still lovin' After 7 and still listening in 2019.

  16. R.... T....

    After 7 is so classy... You used to have to earn your place and they earned it classic!!! nowadays all they have to do is holler and scream and jump around the stage like they have no sense and they earn their place... So many people die before us to pay the way and they have just messed up the way can we bring back music with a meaning ...

  17. J.... T....

    2019 baby! :)

  18. 2.... ....

    have to check your self don t fall for her

  19. D.... H....

    Real music.

  20. G.... H....

    Classic After 7😘😘
    Love You Bobby 😍

  21. R.... H....

    Don't you hear me crying for it😢

  22. D.... A....

    THIS WHOLE CD WAS
    MADE TO PERFECTION

    AND IT'S UNFORGETTABLE
    I'M JUST VERY GLAD THAT

    I WAS ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER
    COPY OF THIS CD, BECAUSE

    I WAS TOLD THAT MOST OF
    R&B RECORDING ARTIST MUSIC

    WAS OUT PRINT AND THAT I COULD
    NOT GET ANYMORE COPIES OF

    ANYONE, SINCE THE RAP MUSIC
    AND DOMINATED THE MUSIC

    INDUSTRY, WELL
    "RECORDED MEMORIES"
    DID SOME RESEARCH

    AND WAS ABLE TO FIND THIS CD
    AND ONE OD THEIR BEST ALONG
    WITH A FEW OTHERS

  23. Y.... L....

    They sing this bad boy make me cry!!!!! Melvin sound so good...

  24. c.... g....

    I played this CD so much that it broke... What angelic voices... ❤ Kevon is so damn good that he somewhat sounds like a woman, that's tough and rare for a man to do!!

  25. D.... T....

    K.B.E. IF YOU WERE HERE AND I MISSED YOU AGAIN I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE & I

    HOPE THAT YOU'RE STILL HERE, ONLY REGRET THAT
    I DIDN'T GET TO SEE YOU, AGAIN,
    JUST HAD NO IDEAL, AND I WAS SITTING HERE WATCHING KEVIN HART

    AND YOUR MUSIC
    PLUGGED INTO MY EAR WITH HEADPHONES AND

    I WAS STILL THINKING ABOUT HOW EMBARRASSING IT WAS TO

    BE SEEN IN PUBLIC WITH MY CRAZY NATURALLY IGNORANT STEP BROTHER

    1 MIN. I CAN COMMEND HIM FOR WORKING 2 JOBS, BUT FOR SERVING THE

    COMMUNITY IN HIS SPARE TIME AT HIS BEST FRIEND'S FATHER'S

    CHURCH TO FEED THE HOMELESS EVERY SATURDAY, AND LESS

    THAN AN HOUR LATER HE'S AWAY FROM THE CHURCH AND HE DOES

    SOMETHING REAL DUMB IN PUBLIC LIKE POP OPEN A BEER IN PUBLIC AND

    DRINK IT FAST LIKE'S A GLASS OF KOOL AIDE OR A SODA THEN HE WANTED

    TO KNOW WHERE ELSE I WANTED TO TAKE ME AND I SAID NO PLACE BUT HOME ASAP

  26. D.... T....

    K.B.E. "MY WORLD IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU"

  27. D.... T....

    YES AFTER 7 IS GENUINE AND ONE AMAZING CLASSIC ACT OF

    SOPHISTICATED GENTS THAT IS ALSO

    ONE OF KIND WHEN IT COMES TO GREAT SONGWRITERS, AND MUSIC

    PRODUCERS LIKE THEIR INFAMOUS & TRULY AMAZING BROTHERS

    "BABYFACE, THE LATE AND GREAT MELVIN EDMONDS, AND ALONG W/

    JON B. AND
    KEVON EDMONDS

    L.A REID, KEITH ANDES
    AND RICKY JONES,

    JUST TO NAME A FEW SO
    CONGRATULATIONS

    EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE THIS IS MY FAVORITE
    CD AND ALL THE OTHERS

    DUE TO YOUR OWN
    CREATIVITY, STYLE AND TECHNIQUE

    NOW IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT I STILL HAVE MY LITERATURE & I HAD EVERY INTENTIONS IN

    SHARING WITH YOU BUT I HAD TOO MANY MAJOR
    SET BACKS WITH 4 HEART

    ATTACKS LAST YEAR 2 IN MARCH & 2 IN NOV. WITH MY OWN FAMILY
    DESTROYING MY ART WORK

    ESSAYS, AND SOME OF POETRY AND SINCE MOST OF THEM WAS DESTROYED

    I'VE MANAGED TO STILL A

    TAKE TO A PROFESSIONAL
    PRINTING COMPANY TO GET PUBLISHED THE 2nd

    TIME AROUND AND WITH
    BETTER RESULT NOW I TOO
    YOUR YOUR JOY AND PAIN

    AND AGAIN I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE & WILL REMAIN
    YOUR BIGGEST FAN AND

    AFTER 7 NOW I ALSO HAVE A VERY URGENT MESSAGE FOR YOU & WITH HOPE I

    GET THIS VERY PERSONAL
    VITAL & URGENT
    MESSAGE,

    SO THAT YOU WON'T LOSE ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER AGAIN WHILE MY HEART

    AND PRAYER WILL CONTINUE TO GO TO YOU
    AND YOUR FAMILY,

    I WILL TRY AND SEND MY VERY URGENT MESSAGE TO & WITH HOPE THAT I

    GET A SOON & BETTER
    RESPONSE FROM

    PRESIDENT FOR

    MARK ZUCKEBURG

    BECAUSE IF THE PROTECT
    ANY MESSAGES FOR
    BEYONCE & JAYZ

    THEY SHOULD DO IT FOR ALL RECORDING ARTIST AND CELEBRITIES

    ALSO LAST YEAR & 1 MORE THIS YEAR IN JAN 2018

    BUT "BABYFACE" I ONLY WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT I'M JUST AS SINCERE

    AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU AS AN ARTIST & YOUR
    MUSIC IS TRULY GENUINE

    FROM YOUR HEART & SOUL
    AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU ONE OF A KIND AND

    TRUE TO YOUR CRAFT WHICH MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME



    NLY WANTED TO SINCERELY

    APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR UNFORTUNATELY BEING
    TOTALLY IGNORED &

    MISUNDERSTOOD WHEN YOU CAME TO TOWN DUE TO A NO GOOD EX BOY

    FRIEND, THAT ONLY BETRAYED HIMSELF AS A
    HONEST MAN OF HIS WORD

    AND I'M SORRY I EVEN MISSED YOUR CONCERT
    BASICALLY TO AVOID HIM

    AS MUCH SO I'M JUST CALLING THE POLICE EVERY TIME HE'S SHOWS

    UP AND NOW HE'S GOT THE MESSAGE AND I HAVEN'T SEEN OR BEEN

    WITH HIM OR ANYONE ELSE BUT AGAIN I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE

    FOR ALL THE TROUBLE I MAY HAVE CAUSED YOU SINCE YOU MADE

    THE EFFORT TO COME & VIEW WORK WHICH FAILED
    TERRIBLY DUE THAT THE

    FACT THAT NO GOOD BOY FRIEND FINALLY GOT THE
    MESSAGE, SINCE HE ONLY

    PROVED TO BE LESS THAN A MAN WITH THAT VERY CHILDISH BOY MENTALITY

    AND HE ONLY WASTED MY
    M.V.P. MY MOST VITAL
    PRECIOUS TIME BY PLAYING VERY CHILDISH
    GAMES WITH MY BEAUTIFUL MIND SO FOR

    THE PAST 4 1/2 YRS. I HAVE BEEN LIVING ALONE WITHOUT THIS MEGA LOSER USER AND ABUSER

    AND I NEVER EVER THOUGHT THAT YOU HAD COME THE DISTANCE

    MORE THAN ONCE TO MEET WITH ME TO PERSONALLY VIEW MY

    WORK FIRST HAND WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS THE NO
    GOOD BOY THAT ONLY PROVED TO BE LESS THAN

    THE MAN HE ONLY CLAIMED TO BE WHEN I KNOW THAT YOU AND

    YOUR WORK PROVED TO BE SO MUCH MORE & YES
    100 PERCENT 3 TIMES

    BETTER THAN HE EVER WAS, SO AGAIN I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE

    KENNY "BABYFACE EDMONDS AND I MEAN THAT DEARLY

  29. a.... s....

    Any of there songs can put you in the mood for love. After 7 is just an awesome group.

  31. H.... C....

    Love this CD!

  32. H.... a....

    Hmmm, this reminds me of how I felt about women who eventually broke my heart... Yup, love sucks.

  33. M.... H....

    By the time this Reflections Album appeared, we saw that the true talent of After 7 come full circle. I know it keeps my heart Cryin for more. Thanks for posting.

  34. A.... N....

  35. L.... c....

    Pure talent. Melodic voices. No auto tuning here.

    L.... c....

    Loveystar78 cloud.....NONE!!!

  36. B.... A....

    I'm happily re-discovering After 7. I had forgotten how much I liked them back in the day and lost track of them. They are an awesome group. I was sorry to hear that Melvin's not touring with them anymore...but STILL love After 7!

  37. B.... N....

    💕💕💕✨

  38. H.... T....

    This is my jam.

  39. C.... K....

    💞💞Amazing Group is all I have to say

  40. C.... A....

    Yo if I tried dedicating to a girl in today's age I would be called thirsty. I remember these songs being a jump off point to an amazing pair bonding experience.

  41. F.... B....

    I never knew the oldest brother name, "Melivn". He has a beauitful voice very meaningful "thrown" as he repents his lyrics.I live them all!!Even the light skinned one.

  42. A.... J....

    them boyz got back together.. Fàaaashooo..

  43. Z.... I....

    Edmonds family classic

  44. W.... H....

    cant get enough of these jams-reflections album is da bomb"boom!"

    W.... H....

    Yes! My favorite!

  45. A.... J....

    love this

  46. M.... J....

    if the songs are like this
    . it'll be a gem

  47. B.... A....

    "My heart's on fire"

  48. F.... F....

    It's hard to say, but I think this is the best After 7 album. we will see when the new album is released. Timeless. September 2016! can't wait!

    F.... F....

    +Nancy Dawson OK the new album now won't be released until October. They want to add something special and it pushed it back t October. Anxiously awaiting!

    F.... F....

    Yes I bought it and it's pretty good

    F.... F....

    Nancy, it is hard to say, but although all their songs on their albums are beautifully delivered, this may be the best of their best. This is one classy album that expresses all the elements of love!!!!!. it really does not get much better than this album, in my opinion.

    F.... F....

    Nancy Dawson .....My boy and I discussed this very topic the other night over some XO. Listened to the first three projects. The conclusion was that, Although Takin' My Time and After 7 had some FANTASTIC TRACKS, Reflections (track for track) was the better project of the three. IMO, due to the declination of Melvin's vocal range, Reflections is still the better of the After 7 projects.

    F.... F....

    Beautiful lovely song

  49. g.... m....

    20.20 - 20.24

  50. N.... A....

    2016 and still loving it!

  51. P.... V....

    Such a beautiful song!!!

  52. l.... ....

    Keith Mitchell was the hottest, wish he had done more leads, nice eye candy.

  53. s.... ....

    lol..I used to wear this OWT!  Unfortunately, the CD has been stuck in my CD changer for the past 15 years..lol...those were the good old days when my ex-wife & I were together...lol...brings back memories. 

  54. G.... S....

    Often times hear Kevon complimented as if he alone made this group happen,he do have a nice voice but as a group especially with Melvin, his brother voice, this trio  happens.

    G.... S....

    You are so correct Ginger Smith. The After 7 sound is only made possible with both Melvin and Kevon . Melvin is (The Roux), the flavor packet. After 7 is like a steaming bowl of fragrant gumbo and gumbo ain't gumbo without the roux (Melvin), it's soup.

  55. k.... w....

    im in love with this track

    k.... w....

    My favorite song in the entire world

  56. D.... ....

    You can never go wrong with a After 7 or Kevon track! This cd was a classic!

    D.... ....

    Dasani605 o

    D.... ....

    True...cd was a classic

  57. M.... W....

    How you know you're in love...can't sleep...this song makes me want to run and grab him...Ijs :)

  58. A.... H....

    This is an all time classic. This song brings back memories lol

  59. J.... S....

    One of my favorite groups

  60. B.... ....

    Memories..

  61. j.... ....

    that's purely and simply a great ballad!

  62. J.... B....

    @gambattemusic Did Babyface write this one? I'd say a good performance by Kevon but doesn't touch his performances in songs like Ready or Not, One Night or my personal favourite Truly Something Special. Kevon may be the purest male rnb singer not named Luther.

    J.... B....

    Jon B Smooth yes, Babyface wrote and produced this!

  63. B.... M....

    man this is truly a love ballad for the ages thanx for posting this one. appreciate it very much. U know ur in love when you can relate to an after 7 track.

  64. s.... ....

    same here, have to thank this girl a lot for posting it.

  65. B.... H....

    I had forgotten how much i love this cd!!
