“Crying Out for Me” finds Mario sensing a woman in need of being saved from her man who’s consistently doing her wrong—a sentiment similar to his 2004 hit “Let Me Love You.” It is the second single from Go.
The song’s remix featuring Lil Wayne is hailed as influential for the rapper’s conversation...
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
Yeah (Uh-huh)
Polow da Don
Listen, girl
Mario, let’s go (Ohh)
Ladies
[Verse 1]
It’s like you're caught up in a maze
You keep on goin' in circles, girl, and you’re tryna find your way out
But it's time I put on my cape
And put that "S" on my chest, girl, I wanna come and save you, but I'm stuck
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m stuck in the middle of seein' you hurt
I know when you love him, and you wanna make it work
And I can’t help but think that I'd knew you first
It’s gettin' louder, girl, can’t ignore it no more, I can't
[Chorus]
I can hear your heart
Cryin' out for me (Cryin' out for me)
I can hear your heart
Cryin' out for me, yeah (And it keeps on sayin')
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me (And it keeps on sayin')
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me (I can, baby)
I can hear your heart (Ooh-ooh)
Cryin' out for me
[Verse 2]
Baby, I should’ve never caught no feelings, but
Baby, havin' late night conversations on your sofa
You tellin' me how he played you out over and over
Over and over
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m stuck in the middle of seein' you hurt
I know when you love him, and you wanna make it work
And I can’t help but think that I knew you first
It’s gettin' louder, girl, I can’t ignore it no more, baby
[Chorus]
I can hear your heart
Cryin' out for me (Cryin' out for me)
I can hear your heart (Ooh, yeah)
Cryin' out for me, yeah (Girl, it's sayin')
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me (Save me)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me (Ho, ho, oh)

Cryin' out for me (Girl, it's cryin', girl, it's cryin')
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna confuse things (Ho-oh)
But I just can’t keep lyin' to myself
When you’re holdin' me (When you’re holdin' me)
I can feel your pain, oh, baby, let me
Be your dream
I’m the answer, come see me (See me)
And u don’t have to cry no more
Girl, I can hear your heart, babe, hoo
I can hear your heart, girl, it’s cryin'
Won’t you listen to your heart, baby?
[Chorus]
I can hear your heart (Ohh)
Cryin' out for me (Girl, it's cryin' out for me)
I can hear your heart (Ooh-woah, ho)
Cryin' out for me, yeah (And it's sayin')
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me (Save me)
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me (Oh-ho, no, no)
I can hear your heart (Hoo)
Cryin' out for me (It's cryin' out for me)
[Outro]
Girl, I can hear it, hear it cryin'
