Cryin' Lyrics

There was a time When I was so broken hearted Love wasn't much of a friend of mine The tables have turned, yeah 'Cause me and them ways have parted That kind of love was the killin' kind Now listen All I want is someone I can't resist I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin' to forget you Love is sweet misery I was cryin' just to get you Now I'm dyin' cause I let you Do what you do - down on me Now there's not even breathin' room Between pleasure and pain Yeah you cry when we're makin' love Must be one and the same It's down on me Yeah I got to tell you one thing It's been on my mind Girl I gotta say We're partners in crime You got that certain something What you give to me Takes my breath away Now the word out on the street Is the devil's in your kiss If our love goes up in flames It's a fire I can't resist I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin' to forget you Your love is sweet misery I was cryin' just to get you Now I'm dyin' cause I let you Do what you do to me 'Cause what you got inside Ain't where your love should stay Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love If you give your heart away I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin' to forget you Your love is sweet misery I was cryin' just to get you Now I'm dyin' just to let you Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm tryin' to forget you Your love is sweet misery I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm dyin' cause I let you Do what you do down to , down to, down to, down to I was cryin' when I met you Now I'm dyin' to forget you Your love is sweet I was cryin' when I met you

Meaning of Cryin'

“Cryin’” encapsulates a tumultuous and intensely passionate love affair marked by both exquisite joy and devastating pain. The lyrics depict a transformation from heartbreak to an almost obsessive desire, acknowledging a destructive pull towards someone who simultaneously captivates and destroys. Aerosmith’s message is one of recognizing the dangerous allure of this “sweet misery,” admitting to being consumed by a love that feels like a fatal addiction – a "fire I can't resist." The repeated cries of “I was cryin’ when I met you” and attempts to forget highlight the cyclical nature of the relationship, acknowledging the pain inflicted alongside the undeniable attraction. Ultimately, the song suggests a doomed partnership, symbolized by being “partners in crime,” where the speaker is both drawn to and ultimately consumed by this irresistible, yet destructive, force – a love that promises both ecstasy and oblivion.
