She's taken my time Convince me she's fine But when she leaves I'm not so sure It's always the same She's playing her game And when she goes I feel to blame Why won't she say she needs me? I know she's not as strong as she seems Why don't I see her cry for help? Why don't I feel her cry for help? Why don't I hear her cry for help? I wandered around The streets of this town Trying to find sense of it all The rain on my face It covers the trace Of all the tears I'd had to waste Why must we hide emotions? Why must we never break down and cry? All that I need is to cry for help Somebody please hear me cry for help All I can do is cry for help No need to feel ashamed Release the pain cry for help Cry for help is all I need All I need is a cry for help Cry for help is all I need All I need is a cry for help Why must we hide emotions? Why can't we ever break down and cry? All that I need is to cry for help I will be there when you cry for help Why don't I hear her cry for help? All that I need is to cry for help Somebody please hear me cry for help All I can do is cry for help All that I need is to cry for help I will be there when you cry for help Is it so hard to cry for help? (Cry for help is all I need) no need to feel ashamed (All I need is a cry for help) come on and release the pain (Cry for help is all I need) put your trust in me (All I need is a cry for help) my love is gonna set you free

Diferente dos grandes sucessos anteriores de Rick Astley, que tinham foco na dança, essa faixa é uma balada.
O coro de apoio foi realizado pelo Andraé Crouch Choir.
A canção atingiu o número 7 em ambas as paradas de singles do Reino Unido e da Billboard Hot 100 dos Estados Unidos, sendo até hoje o último hit nos dez primeiros lugares para Astley nesses países.
Em 1993, a música recebeu um dos Pop Awards da BMI, premiação destinada a homenagear os compositores e editoras musicais da obra.
Thomas Anders, ex-integrante do Modern Talking, gravou uma versão cover da música.
O clipe original foi atualizado para resolução 4K em 18 de julho de 2024, coincidindo com o relançamento do álbum Free.
