10. "I Don't Wanna Cry"
This powerful ballad, released from Mariah's debut album,
Mariah Carey, in 1991, tells the story of a very sad breakup between two people who care about each other, but just can't make their relationship work. The song became Mariah's fourth number one single.
Sample lyrics:
"Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby, look what weve become
We can make a million promises
But we still wont change
It isnt right to stay together
When we only bring each other pain."
