"All Cried Out" Lyrics

/ 5
Song updated, review now!
You took your time to come back this time,
The grass has grown under your feet,
In your absence I changed my mind
Now someone else is sitting in your seat.

I know, that I said, there'd be no one else,
I know, that I said I'd be true
But baby, I broke cupid's arrow
And here's the short and narrow
I've nothing left to offer you, 'coz I'm

All cried out
You took a whole lotta lovin' for a handful o' nothin'
All cried out
It's hard to give you somethin' when you're pushin' an' a shovin' me around.

So don't look surprised,
There was no disguise.
You knew where I stood, from the start
So, stop! Look around you,
You're right back where I found you
Take back your cold and empty heart.

All cried out
You took a whole lotta lovin' for a handful o' nothin'
All cried out
It's hard to give you somethin' when you're pushin' an' a shovin' me around.

You go your way and I'll go mine
I won't stay around here
Don't you waste my time

(All cried out)
You took a whole lotta lovin' for a handful o' nothin'
(All cried out)
It's hard to give you somethin' when you're pushin and a shovin'
(All cried out)
You took a whole lotta lovin'
(All cried out)
It's hard to give you somethin' when you're pushin' an' a shovin' me around.

About"All Cried Out" is a song by English singer-songwriter Alison Moyet. It was written by Moyet and producers Jolley & Swain for her debut studio album Alf (1984). Released as the album's second single in the autumn of 1984, the track peaked within the top ten on both the Irish and the UK Singles Chart, also reaching the top twenty in Switzerland.

In 2002, it was re-recorded and released as a single by German pop band No Angels for their album When the Angels Swing. In 2003, German electro-industrial act Wumpscut reworked the track on their 2003 studio album Preferential Legacy, while English singer-songwriter Fink released his version on the acoustic soul album Biscuits for Breakfast in 2006.

In the 6 October 1984 issue of Number One magazine, Paul Bursche reviewed the single, praising the song as following up "Love Resurrection" with "ease". He commented: "In no way am I the first to rave about this exquisite voice, nor, I suspect, shall I be the last. But I wouldn't let the voice distract me from the song. Alison Moyet not only has a great voice, she's also some songwriter."
