Crying Laughing Loving Lying

Crying Laughing Loving Lying is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Labi Siffre, released in 1972, by Pye International.

All songs were written, performed and produced by Siffre, and the album was recorded at Chappell Studios in London.

The record contains two of Labi's best known songs: "It Must Be Love" (No. 14, 1971, later covered by and a No. 4 hit for Madness, for which Siffre himself appeared in the video); and "Crying Laughing Loving Lying" (No. 11, 1972).

Both "It Must Be Love" and "Crying Laughing Loving Lying" were released as singles in the US by Bell Records but failed to chart. The album was never released in the US. Siffre had his first US singles success as a songwriter when, in 1983, the cover version of "It Must Be Love" by Madness peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 33.

Olivia Newton-John covered "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying" on her 1975 album, Clearly Love, Whitney covered "Crying Laughing Loving Lying" on their 2020 album Candid, and Peach Pit covered "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying" on the 2025 expansion version of their album Magpie.

The remastered album was released on CD in 2006 by EMI, featuring six bonus tracks and liner notes by Siffre.
