Crybaby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe
If that attitude took a backseat, Miss Know-It-All
You'd find a man (Find a man)
You got no chill, you can't (Ain't got no chill)
Damn, baby, and maybe
If I stopped blaming the world for my faults
I could evolve
Maybe the pressure just made me too soft

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I seem to do is get in my way
Then blame you, it's just a cycle, rinse, recycle
You're so sick, I'm so sick of me too


[Chorus]
Call me Miss Crybaby
Call me Miss Crybaby
It's not my fault (It's not my fault)
If it's Murphy's law (If it's Murphy's law)

What can go wrong will go wrong
Telling you, crybaby
Call me a crybaby
It's not my fault (It's not my fault)
It's Murphy's law (It's Murphy's law)
What can go wrong will go wrong
[Post-Chorus]
Don't I know
Don't I know
Damn it, don't I know
Oh, you know it

[Verse 2]
And maybe (Maybe)
You should really stop smokin' them Backwoods so you can age backwards, please, girl
Baby, it's your world, oh
Maybe (Maybe)
You should stop focusing all of that negative blocking the positive
Trying to find, you're my blindspot, it's fine niggas
Ruin me every single time


[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I seem to do is get in my way
Then blame you, it's just a cycle, I'm so psycho
You so sick, I'm so sick of me too

[Chorus]
Call me Miss Crybaby
Call me Miss Crybaby
It's not my fault (It's not my fault)
Damn that Murphy's law (It's Murphy's law)

What can go wrong goin' wrong
Baby, it's crybaby
Oh, it's crybaby
It's not my fault (It's not my fault)
Fuck Murphy's law (It's Murphy's law)
It ain't gone 'til it's gone, oh
[Outro]
(Can't stop the raining)
(And I'm still sick of maybe)
(Give it all to live that life)
I know you told stories about me
Most of them awful, all of them true
Here's some for you, yeah, ooh
I know you told stories about me
Most of them awful, all of them true
Here's some for you, yeah (Oh, ooh)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Crybaby is the 10th track on SOS Deluxe: Lana . The song was premiered during her BST Hyde Park set in London, along with the official teaser across her social media accounts on June 29th, 2024. An extended snippet of the song was previewed in the Drive music video, released on December 19th, 2024.

In Crybaby , SZA addresses the public’s perception of her as overly sensitive and emotionally vulnerable. The song confronts the labels often placed on her, such as being “insecure” or a “crybaby,” but rather than rejecting these notions, she leans into them with honesty and self-awareness. She acknowledges her flaws, embraces these traits as part of her identity, turning what might be seen as weaknesses into a testament to her authenticity. Crybaby serves as a reclamation of her narrative and a call for empathy, as she owns her imperfections while challenging the audience to see the humanity in them.
