The lead single of Paloma Faith’s fourth studio album debunks the idea that men have to conceal their emotions to retain a “masculine” image. Official Charts described the song as a “slinky, soul-funk track,” and it is notably more upbeat and positive than Faith’s past work.
[Verse 1]
Oh, it's okay to be
A little broken and beat
But I'm alright with that
You're with me, relax
And you call it weak
Baby, you're just unique
Come out of the black
Never hold it back
[Pre-Chorus]
You got such sad eyes; blue to grey
And it hurts me to see you hurt this way
[Chorus]
Oh, go on and cry, baby, crybaby
'Cause you don't have to keep it inside (Just try, just cry)
Go on and cry, baby, crybaby
And there's no reason you got to hide (Just try, just cry)
A real man shows his feelings
Tears they can be healing
And I can be your saviour tonight
So go on and cry, baby, crybaby
Just cry
[Verse 2]
You keep coming home drunk
And I don't know what's up
You can talk to me
Spare those whiskey dreams
"Don't have to man up"
That phrase kinda sucks
Let yourself be free
And open up to me
[Pre-Chorus]
You got such sad eyes; turn blue to grey
And it hurts me to see you hurt this way
[Chorus]
Oh, go on and cry, baby, crybaby
'Cause you don't have to keep it inside (Just try, just cry)
Go on and cry, baby, crybaby
And there's no reason you got to hide (Just try, just cry)
A real man shows his feelings
Tears they can be healing
And I can be your saviour tonight
So go on and cry, baby, crybaby
Just cry, oh
[Bridge]
Nothing's the end of the world
Spinning and spinning, it's gon' be alright
One day you'll look back and know
It wasn't worth all the heartache
This could be the making of you
So let it all out, let it fall down, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, go on and cry, baby, crybaby (Let me see you cry)
'Cause you don't have to keep it inside (Just try, just cry)
Go on and cry, baby, crybaby (Let me see you cry)
And there's no reason you got to hide (Just try, just cry)
A real man shows his feelings
Tears they can be healing
And I can be your saviour tonight
So go on and cry, baby, crybaby
Just cry, oh
[Outro]
Sweet darling
Let it all out
Crybaby was written by Paloma Faith & Lindy Robbins & Cleo Tighe & Starsmith.
Crybaby was produced by Starsmith.
Paloma Faith released Crybaby on Thu Aug 31 2017.
Paloma described “Crybaby” as a feminist single in an interview with Dan Wootton.
The concept behind it is if men dealt with their emotions better – if it was socially more acceptable to cry or express your feelings. Would there be less problems in the world? Would we just stop bombing and hurting...
