Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write something different than the typical male/female break-up song, and I thought, "Hmmm--how about having the male leave the female for another man? It's certainly timely and contemporary . . "
Song Description
It is a break-up song with a twist, because the female singer is tormented because she knows her male lover is exhibiting signs that he is with another person . . .what she doesn't know is that the other person is a man, and that her male lover has been having a relationship with another male when he is not with her . . .

Lyrics
"ME, MYSELF, AND CRY"
Lyrics, Music, and Musical Arrangement by Julius J. Davis, Jr.

Verse 1
Waited all night, woke the sun on up
Had a long conversation with my coffee cup, and
You never came, you didn't call
You didn't give a damn at all
You must have known that I'd hang around
While you were busy on the other side of town
Makin' love at a different address
I ain't nothin' but a fool, I guess, I'm
Transition
Sittin' here all night, all day, all night
Watchin' MTV
Shoulda took my ass to bed, but I'm
Missin' you all night, all day, all night
I gotta set you free
Stead of keepin' you inside of my head
CHORUS/HOOK
No need to call me on the phone, and
Don't come by, I wanna be alone, I'm
Not at the club with another guy
Ain't nobody here but ME, MYSELF, AND CRY
How many times does it take to learn
Throw your heart in the fire and it's gonna get burned
Just who the hell put the good in goodbye
Cause ain't nobody here but
ME, MYSELF, AND CRY
Verse 2
Caught you last week with your new affair
Tried to act like I didn't but I really care
I never knew, and I couldn't tell
So undercover you were on the DL
I gave you all that I had to give
But it didn't matter, cause you gave your love to him
I'm tryn' hard, try'n to understand
How could you leave me for another man?
I'm
(Repeat Transition, Chorus/Hook, Modulate Chorus, and fade out to end)
