When your baby leaves you all alone
And nobody calls you on the phone
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'?
Don't you feel like cryin'?
Well, here I am, a-honey
A-come on, well, cry to me
When you're all alone in your lonely room
And there's nothing but the smell of her perfume
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'?
A-don't you feel like cryin'?
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'?
A-come on, come on, cry to me
Whoa
Nothing can be sadder than a glass of wine alone
Loneliness, loneliness, such a waste of your time, oh yes
You don't ever have to walk alone, you see
A-come on, take my hand, and baby, won't you walk with me?
Whoa yeah
When you're waitin' for a voice to come
In the night, but there's no one
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'? (Cry to me)
Don't you feel like cryin'? (Cry to me)
A-don't you feel like a-c-cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry (cry to me)
Cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry, cryin'? (Cry to me)
A-don't you feel like a-cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry (cry to me)
C-cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry, cryin'? (Cry to me)
And nobody calls you on the phone
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'?
Don't you feel like cryin'?
Well, here I am, a-honey
A-come on, well, cry to me
When you're all alone in your lonely room
And there's nothing but the smell of her perfume
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'?
A-don't you feel like cryin'?
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'?
A-come on, come on, cry to me
Whoa
Nothing can be sadder than a glass of wine alone
Loneliness, loneliness, such a waste of your time, oh yes
You don't ever have to walk alone, you see
A-come on, take my hand, and baby, won't you walk with me?
Whoa yeah
When you're waitin' for a voice to come
In the night, but there's no one
A-don't you feel like a-cryin'? (Cry to me)
Don't you feel like cryin'? (Cry to me)
A-don't you feel like a-c-cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry (cry to me)
Cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry, cryin'? (Cry to me)
A-don't you feel like a-cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry (cry to me)
C-cry, c-cry, c-cry-cry, cryin'? (Cry to me)

i imagine making passionate love to it...
perhaps its the dirty dancing love scene, or just the sensious beat
One of my all-time favorite songs. Obviously, it's about the rebound guy (or girl) who's always there to cure the loneliness.
What a nice song. It really catches that feeling of loneliness.
Your song speaks to my soul and always has since I first heard it. I'm not sure why. It makes me feel like crying, making love, dancing...my perceptions and mood change every time I hear this...it makes my hair stand on end and my heart ache.
It was the perfect selection for the scene in Dirty Dancing.
As far as meaning, I've been listening to this song while reading about Mr. Burke's life and I'm going to go out on a limb and say this song is not fom a man to woman, or woman to a man, or any of those. It's from Jesus, the spirit, God, [pick your omniscient omnipotent being], to all of us.
Why would we feel like crying? For me, that's lies at the heart of the whole resurrection/firgiveness of sins mythos.
There are two examples in the lyrics that lead me to think this:
"You don't ever have to walk alone, oh you see
Oh come on, take my hand and baby won't you walk with me?"
and
"When you're waiting for a voice to come
In the night and there is no one
Ah don't you feel like crying? (cry to me)"
is he consoling a guy or did the girl's guy sleep with another girl and she smells the perfume?
It's an act you do alone in your lonely room .
