Cry When You Get Older Lyrics
[Chorus]
Hey girl in the strobing light
What your mama never told ya
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older
Young boy by the traffic light
What your daddy never told ya
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older
[Verse 1]
Hold up a second, I-I got something on my dirty mind
I start out with good intentions, but mess it up like all the time
I try to keep up appearance
But always end up way out of line, hey
I need some kind of miracle
Cause I lost all my faith in science
So I put my faith in me
[Pre-Chorus]
She said: "There just must be more to life than this"
He said: "Careful, 'cause you might just get your wish"
(Everybody in the back, singing...)
[Chorus]
Hey girl in the strobing light
What your mama never told ya (Your mama never told ya)
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older (Everybody singing)
Young boy by the traffic light
What your daddy never told ya (Daddy never told ya)
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older
[Verse 2]
Back in suburbia, kids get high and make out on the train, yeah
Then endless incomprehensible boredom takes a hold again
And in this other dream, I'm on top of the world
Ahead of the game
Think of reality and it hits me hardcore to the brain
(We've got to get away, ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
She said: "There just must be more to life than this" (than this)
He said: "Careful, cause you might just get your wish"
(Everybody in the back, singing...)
[Chorus]
Hey girl in the strobing light
What your mama never told ya (Your mama never told ya)
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older (Everybody in the front)
Young boy by the traffic light
What your daddy never told ya (Said your daddy never told ya)
Is love hurts when you do it right
You can cry when you get older
[Outro]
Hey
Bet your mama never told ya that
Older, older, older

What did Robyn say about "Cry When You Get Older"?
Writing that song – Cry When You Get Older – was very intuitive. Me and Klaus weren’t really sure about what we were saying until after, maybe. Trying to pinpoint some sort of outsider culture, that thing of youth being wasted on the young, but doing it in a respectful way that doesn’t exclude or al...
