Crybaby

Story Behind The Song

I was particularly frustrated at a coworker who I felt wasn't pulling his weight, and I wrote a song in which I imagined him getting fired because he didn't listen to my warnings and when he complains about it, I tell him to *$%@ off. I wrote it in such a way that a woman could imagine singing this about a guy she's breaking up with because he couldn't get right even after her warnings. He's all broken up because she's leaving and she just doesn't feel sorry for him.

Song Description

A powerful woman who is most likely breaking up with a man who she has repeatedly tried to get him to pull his weight in the relationship. She's dumping him, and now he's crying about it. She is past the point of feeling sorry for him, she is basically telling him where to go and to stop crying to her, because he had his chance and he blew it.

Lyrics

You tested my limits
you pushed your luck
broke the wrong rules
look where that got you

I gave an inch,
you took a mile
now you wanna pout and cry
my warnings went in one ear
and came out the other side
came out the other side

Crybaby, pick up that bottom lip
it's time, maybe to take responsability
I'm a lady, not the old rug under your feet,
so crybaby, don't come cryin' to me

I could live without
cleaning up your mess
I could live without
your constant disrespectin'

You're not indespensable
not irreplaceable
you've got no one left to blame, left to blame

Chorus

what you got that you can still defend?
You've driven my nerves over the edge
whining to mama won't make you friends
so quit your bellyachin', and be a man

crybaby, you're a crybaby
crybaby, you're a crybaby
Cry to mama

chorus 2x
