Cry Me Out
"Cry Me Out" is a song by English singer Pixie Lott from her debut studio album, Turn It Up (2009). Written by Lott, Mads Hauge, Phil Thornalley and Colin Campsie, and produced by Hauge and Thornalley, the song was released on 22 November 2009 as the album's third single. "Cry Me Out" peaked at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
Background
Lott explained the song to BBC News: "I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak [...] because I like getting into the character. When we were writing 'Cry Me Out', I said, 'I feel like singing about something sad but, obviously, still being strong'. So the guy has to cry to get over me, instead of the other way around." She also told Digital Spy that the song's opening lyric "I got your e-mails, you just don't get females" was her favourite line on the Turn It Up album. Lott explained that she chose to release "Cry Me Out" as a single because she "wanted to do something really classy and mature for the next single, where I could get a bit more emotional."

Cry Me Out
by: Pixie LottI got your emails
You just don't get females now, do you?
What's in my heart
Is not in your head, anyway
Mate, you're too late
And you weren't worth the wait, now were you?
It's out of my hands
Since you blew your last chance when you played me
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that will fall mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain't all that
Baby, there's no way back
You can keep talkin'
But baby, I'm walkin' away
When I found out
You messed me about, I was broken
Back then I believed you
Now I don't need ya no more
The pic on your phone
Proves you weren't alone, she was with you, yeah
Now I couldn't care about who, what or where
We're through
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that will fall mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain't all that
Baby, there's no way back
You can keep talkin'
But baby, I'm walkin' away
Gonna have to cry me out
Gonna have to cry me out
Boy, there ain't no doubt
Gonna have to cry me out
Won't hurt a little bit
Boy, better get used to it
You can keep talkin'
But baby, I'm walkin' away
You'll have to cry me out
You'll have to cry me out
The tears that will fall mean nothing at all
It's time to get over yourself
'Cause baby you ain't all that
Baby, there's no way back
You can keep talkin'
Baby, I'm walkin' away
You'll have to cry me out
