Case - Cryin' Over Time Lyrics






It's another sleepless night
With out you girl
Things didn't turn out right
Time to move on

Everynight the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness
Long after your tears have dried
I'll be crying over time over time (hmmmm)

Life just seems so cold
With a lonley heart
It's so hard to let go
Of this love that I feel for you

For everynight the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness
Until I get you off my mind
I'll be crying over time (hmmmm)

See I'm down on my knees
And I'm lonely (mmm)
I need you to come back to me

Everynight the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness
Until I get you off my mind
I'll be crying
Oooooooooo (heeeeeeww)

Can you see what its doing to me
You've got me crying overtime

Hold me closesly baby
I'm so sorry I'm so sorry
See its come down to this
I'm down on my knees begging you
And I'm crying over time

Said I need you
Said I want you
I'm crying over time
Over time I'm crying (hmmm)
What do I got to do

Everynight that I cry too much to hide
I'm so sad I'll be crying over time
[x2]

    Case did a real good job for this generation. Alex sang this song to me many of nights while I was crying overtime myself.

    Case should have left this song alone cause Alex did that!!

  11. C.... ....

    The honest truth is that both versions are good. Case touch my heart at first and still with this song but then i heard the Alexander version. What a voice!! and Alex has a bigger vocal range. That's what i think. But i loved Case first album though. The song is amazing!!

  12. c.... ....

    Mr O'Neal by a mile.... 'Case'  (whoever he is)...is as flat as a pancake by comparison.

  13. R.... A....

  32. S.... ....

    I currently work @ McDonald's here in Georgia (i.e. I have been working here since 12/8/05) and my Aunt Cynt always used to play this at work. And everytime she did, I wondered who this song was by...So I asked her and she told me Alexander O'Neal. And ever since, this has been one of my Top 10 slow ballads!

  33. w.... ....

    @my1rule
    lol LMFAO

  34. w.... ....

    @aetnrs

  36. w.... ....

    @DeeJayRoyalT
    I agree with you 100%

  37. Q.... ....

  38. Y.... N....

    man to me this the coldest he ever made

  39. C.... ....

    This album was always SO ON POINT! Thank you Alex, Jimmy, and Terry!

  40. R.... ....

    I agree with most of you Alex version touch you deep. I was a teenager when this song came out. And I have always carried this song close to my heart. I love love love love this song. Some songs shouldn't be allowed to be remade. There is no comparison at all. Sorry Case.

  41. w.... ....

    SOMEBODY STOP CASE FROM SINGING THIS SONG PLEASE. NOW I AM CRING OVERTIME!

  42. w.... ....

    @DeeJayRoyalT
    u are so right

  43. s.... ....

    @DeeJayRoyalT yeah!

  44. r.... s....

    Dieses Lied berührt mich mehr als andere Dinge...ich habe einen schönen Schmerz in meinem Herzen und erinnere mich an meine Jugend....und an das Konzert in Frankfurt mit Alex....vor 25 Jahren....ich könnte weinen...aber vor freude...das es mir heute so gut geht..... Ein Lied das immer in meinem Herzen leben wird.
    One of the best songs ever....from Alex!!!!
    und....niemand singt diesen Song wie Er. Aber guter Versuch!!!!

  45. D.... ....

    Just listen to the lyrics, SOOOOO GORGEOUS. Think about the one that you love. THIS IS REAL MUSIC, DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!

  46. s.... ....

    OHHHHHHHHHHHH......

  47. M.... d....

    esta musica é super linda.

  48. M.... ....

    I've been looking for this song for some time by O'Neal. I didn't know it had been remade. Case's version is crediable. But O'neal's version is the incrediable

  49. c.... ....

    Case's version is OK, but NO COMPARISON to Alexander and JJ&TL's version - NONE.

  50. u.... ....

    It's not just the difference of singing. Alex is definitely much more soulful and refined than Case. But just listen to the production value and musicality of the instrumentation. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis w/ Alex had so much depth. I don't know who produced Case's version but it sounds so mechanical and hollow.

    A big difference of music back in the day and now!

  51. M.... ....

    always loved alexander oneal. always will. sad as it sounds if he cant overcome his addictions, we all just might have to prepare for life w/o him. the addict has to get sick and tired of being sick and tired. just ask micheal jackson....

  52. A.... P....

    case is alright but it is plain, but nothing is better than the original

  53. s.... a....

    when alex sings it is a stand out track from a great album when case attempts it is merely filler. that said at least he didn't ghetto it up just not enough heartache for me

  54. E.... W....

    Thank You for your bravery in serving the U.S.A.

  55. a.... ....

    i was in Desert Storm listening to this song over and over every nite.... so sad, i'm crying now.

  56. M.... M....

    I wa such a "Kid" when this was out....A real fool.....No thought or logic or reason........Just straight STRUNG OUT on some serious Grown Brown Sugar......She coulda had me kill just to get some more of her!!! LOL

  57. A.... B....

    been there

  58. K.... C....

    I appreciate the fact that Case stuck to the originality of the song, rather than throw in a lot of extra "Oh Yeah", "Ooh", and "Ahh's" that completely f*cks up the song for those who alreday loved it just the way it was.

  59. D.... ....

    Case wasn't alright....he was PLAIN! No emotion. There's a difference between liking a song and FEELING a song.

  60. l.... ....

    cry on Alexander!

  61. i.... ....

    exactly

  62. d.... ....

    No disrespect to Case, but he need to learn that not every one can sing any song! He missed it on this one, but the music sounded great though!!! Long live King Alez!!!!

  63. o.... k....

    Alex wins all the way... but Case in the words of J Anthony Brown didn't "Murda another hit" - he actually did alright

  64. o.... k....

    Throwback Way back that entire album was the bomb remember Sunshine ???

  65. o.... k....

    Yeah, Memories 4 sho!

  66. r.... ....

    ur right, that album was one of the most underrated r&b albums ever. alex was my boy.

  67. N.... D....

    Alex by a landslide.

  68. S.... ....

    so smooth, love it

  69. M.... M....

    Alex all the way

  70. m.... ....

    alexander allllllllll the way!!!!!!

  71. J.... W....

    A hood nigga with a perm,black ass lips and a voice that was unbelievable. Kudos to the talent of A.O.!!! LOL

  72. K.... C....

    Alex baby, most definitely. But I am a biased 80's kid. But I give props to Case for not totally fucking it up like some remakes.

  73. T.... ....

    CASE WON!!!!! I LIKE HIS BETTER!!!!

  74. d.... b....

    oh hell to the naw case needs to be hit with a case for that one alex nees to sue for the insult i give him a d for effort but oh no no no no

  75. B.... T....

    Case just doesn't have the chops to sing this song

  76. p.... ....

    If I played the case version when doin it ladies would get up and put their clothes on.

  77. A.... E....

    Case: Shut ya yung mouth when Grown Folks are singing. His version was "bisgusting". Yes I said BISgusting. Long Live Alex, Terry and Jimmy and the MPLS sound!!

  78. x.... ....

    HE REALLY NEED HIS ASS WHOOPED!!

  79. x.... ....

    PREACH ON!!

  80. L.... ....

    Case is/was good, but should've left this classic untainted.....
