What is the difference between the two sentences:
I broke up with her and she cried over me.
I broke up with her and she
cried all over me.
It's based in a song:
Why does she sing her sad songs for me, I'm not the one
To tenderly bring her soft sympathy, I've just begun
To see my way clear and it's plain if I stop I will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and that's all
What does she want me to do
She says that she knows that moments are rare
I suppose that it's true
Then on she goes to say I don't care and she knows that I do
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song
Who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrongShe'd like to think that I'm cruel but she knows that's a lie for I would be
No more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me
But I don't know if this means that she would cry because of him or she cries to him, to persuade or use him like a consolation.
Best Answer
When you say:
it means she was crying because you broke up. It's your fault.
The object of cried over is generally the reason why.
To me (AmE) this does not sound natural, but pretty much it is literal. She was crying and the tears fell on you. But we don't know why she was crying.
