GIRLS ALOUD | What You Crying For

LYRICS:

Stone, broke, it's all just a joke
You're burning all your money
And you're breathing the smoke
Your eyes shine, the women decline
But only 'cause you cross the line

Sink, swim, oh where to begin
You're never gonna get it
'Cos you always give in
You're spoon fed and out on the edge
So where you gonna put
Your devils to bed, boy

What you looking for
When the world's in the palm of your hand
And whats the crying for
About the lows in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running round a blind bend
And with your hand on your heart
Swearing never again

No shame, you did it again
You take my um-ber-ella
While I stand in the rain
The last time
I give your mine
You knew it when you crossed the line

Sink, swim, oh where to begin
You're never gonna get it
'Cos you always give in
You're spoon fed and out on the edge
So where you gonna put
Your devils to bed, boy

What you looking for
When the world's in the palm of your hand
And whats the crying for
About the lows in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running round a blind bend
And with your hand on your heart
Swearing never again

You don't care, it's cold out there
You don't mind, anytime

What you looking for
When the world's in the palm of your hand
And whats the crying for
About the lows in your life that you never had
So don't justify
You're so broke inside
You're running round a blind bend
And with your hand on your heart
Swearing never again

REVIEWS:
 x What You Crying For sees the girls return to that Drum 'N Bass feel found on the Drum 'N Pop core within first single Sound Of The Underground... Except this is quite classic DNB, a bit edgier and a lot grittier. I honestly think this will be one track the fans will eventually acknowledge as classic Aloud material. Please take note: Nadine singing "you take my um-ber-ella while I stand in the rain." Take that Rihanna! Adem

x (...) is hyper and zippy, but has very smooth vocals placed high up in the mix. I love how they just toss off an au courant moment with the pronunciation of "umb-er-ella." That sums up what I like about Girls Aloud - they stumble in from a night of drinking hard liquor (or in the case of Kimba, watching Love Actually or something), and they just sing the words while checking their manicures. They don't seem to question it because they kind of live it, you know? No angst here. When the songs are worthy, it's magic. xolondon
