CRY BABY LYRICS

[Verse 1]
You seem to replace your brain with your heart
You take things so hard and then you fall apart
You try to explain, but before you can start
Those cry baby tears come out of the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone's turning the handle to that faucet in your
eyes

Does Melanie write these songs about her

childhood?

While Cry Baby is a fictional character—“a

of the lyrics. This song, for example, is
about people who are extremely sensitive
and get teased for being emotional, which
is something that holds true for Melanie’s
life and personality.
