John Hiatt - Cry To Me Lyrics






Getting dark and it feels like trouble
Heating up just like the fallin' evening rain
Tongues so sharp they could burst any bubble
Nobody wants to talk about all that pain
They're all having fun playing with your feelings
You can't control it, it just breaks your heart
Dirty double crosses done with underhanded dealings
When all you ever wanted was a place to start

Come on and cry to me baby
You can even lie to me baby
I'm probably gonna let you down but
I swear I won't keep you down
I swear I won't keep you down

Memories of Highway 19, they still haunt you
Babies [?] a motorcycle parts
Broken windows and crushing blows that taunt you
Not one damn thing in the yard that starts
I wonder why love is always looking for its own goals
Or is that just what hurt people do
Find the ones who injured them the utmost
Practically beg 'em to make their dreams come true

Come on and cry to me baby
You can even lie to me baby
I'm probably gonna let you down but
I swear I won't keep you down
I swear I won't keep you down, yup!

Sometimes something good can come from lying
'Cause sometimes when they got you so down
Somethin' worse can come from crying
'Cause sometimes they just wanna keep you down

Come on and cry to me baby
You can even lie to me baby
I'm probably gonna let you down but
I swear I won't keep you down, yeah

Come on and cry to me baby
You can even lie to me baby
I'm probably gonna let you down but
I swear I won't keep you down, yeah
I swear I won't keep you down
I swear I won't keep you down

John Hiatt Cry To Me Comments
  1. H.... A....

    Got my New CD today "The Eclipse Sessions" and a Greatest Hits from my wife for Christmas. Merry Christmas John Hiatt and a BLESSED New Year. I'll try to stop talking about your music. F that.

  2. D.... L....

    Almost a year on youtube and somehow only 13K views for this? That's some kind of joke right? This song is a minor masterpiece....

    D.... L....

    That means it's just for us. ... Enjoy the privacy!

  3. P.... M....

    This is terrific!!

  4. S.... M....

    Always love John Hyatt. I have most of his album. What a talented musician he is!!❤️❤️❤️

  5. M.... M....

    ** CORRECTED LYRICS** I am correcting some of the wrong lyrics posted on this song. I have seen Hiatt sing this song in person and going to see him again on 11/22/19 @ City Winery in Nashville. (we'll be in the balcony table 2) I put the corrected lyrics in CAPS. Getting dark and it feels like trouble
    Heating up just like BEFORE AN evening rain
    Tongues so sharp they could burst any bubble
    Nobody wants to talk about all that pain
    They're all having fun playing with your feelings
    You can't control it, it just breaks your heart
    Dirty double crosses done with underhanded dealings
    When all you ever wanted was a place to start

    Come on and cry to me baby
    You can even lie to me baby
    I'm probably gonna let you down but
    I swear I won't keep you down
    I swear I won't keep you down

    Memories of Highway 19 still haunt you
    Babies on hips AND MEN made out of motorcycle parts
    Broken windows and crushing blows that taunt you
    Not one damn thing in the yard that starts
    I wonder why love is always looking for its own GHOSTS
    Or is that just what hurt people do
    Find the ones who injured them the utmost
    Practically beg 'em to make their dreams come true

    Come on and cry to me baby
    You can even lie to me baby
    I'm probably gonna let you down but
    I swear I won't keep you down
    I swear I won't keep you down, YEP!.....(not Yup!)

    Sometimes something good can come from lying
    'Cause sometimes when they got you so down
    Somethin' worse can come from crying
    'Cause sometimes they just wanna keep you down

    Come on and cry to me baby
    You can even lie to me baby
    I'm probably gonna let you down but
    I swear I won't keep you down, yeah

    Come on and cry to me baby
    You can even lie to me baby
    I'm probably gonna let you down but
    I swear I won't keep you down, yeah
    I swear I won't keep you down
    I swear I won't keep you down

  6. L.... B....

    incredible song.

  7. N.... J....

    I wonder why love is always looking for its own goals

    Can't believe how much I can relate to those lyrics...….I guess we all can and I especially do @ almost 60.

  8. A.... D....
