Oscar Winning Tears lyrics:

Ladies and gentlemen
I’m gonna tell you 'bout
One of the many men
Name is irrelevant
Height is irrelevant
He was a 1/10
I wish that I knew it then
I’m still recovering
Truly I’m vulnerable
I love a sentiment
Quickly I opened up
I learned my lesson then
Thought I was safe again
Thought he was innocent
I was so wrong

I can’t deny
I was stuck in a daze
A terrible phase
You was convincing though
Very believable
The role that you played

So I’ll take this front row seat
Baby baby
You can go ahead, cry those
Oscar winning tears
Pop corn and I scream
Baby baby
You can go ahead, cry those
Oscar winning tears, baby

Oh what a tragedy
It didn’t have to be
Look how you talk to me
Cursing and blasphemy
Cinematography
Get this on camera please
Or no one’s gonna believe this here
I can’t deny I thought
You were the man
But you had a plan
The fuck are you lying for
Fuck are you crying for
You did it again

So I’ll take this front row seat
Baby baby
You can go ahead, cry those
Oscar winning tears
Pop corn and I scream
Baby baby
You can go ahead, cry those
Oscar winning tears, baby

Tears
You can miss me with the bullshit
I can see right through your tears
Tears
9 o’clock entertainment
Oh man I wish I could tape it
Sit down
No tissues
No string section
No tiny violin
For the last time I’m your audience
I’ll take, this front row seat, and baby baby you can go ahead and cry those, baby
Oh baby baby baby would you really go ahead and would you go ahead and just cry
Cry, cry those, Oscar, winning, tears, baby
Tears, tears cry them
Go ahead cry those Oscar winning
And after his Oscar winning performance, I left the room, and never saw him again

Raye official bio:

After parting ways with her label and starting anew, the 25-year-old south Londoner born Rachel Keen came back with a vengeance and a lot to say on her debut album, My 21st Century Blues, hit the #2 spot on the UK charts and outperformed most of the other 2023 UK releases, streaming almost 1 billion times in less than 6 months.

From the start, Raye relished being a maverick. Brought up in a musical household–her dad and grandad were songwriters and played in bands–Raye's tastes combined both the Ella Fitzgerald songs her mum used to play and the Rihanna and Drake bangers she got into as she got older. Growing up in a mixed race family (her mum is Ghanaian-Swiss and her dad English), it took a while to figure out her identity, both as a person and later as an artist.

Raye bet on herself and has been a magnet for success; earning critical adoration from press all over the world, touring with Lewis Capaldi, Kali Uchis and SZA on sold out shows across North America, Europe and the UK and earning her first Top 10 slots at Pop and Rhythm radio in North America.
