I cry, all stirred up and emotional (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lyrical

'emotional' is the definition.
('lyrical' can be similar in meaning to 'emotional')

'i cry all stirred up' is the wordplay.
'stirred up' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'cry'+'all'='icryall'
'icryall' anagrammed gives 'LYRICAL'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for lyrical that I've seen before include "We may wax this" , "Highly enthusiastic" , "Song-like, imaginative or expressive" , "In poetic words, song-like" , "Enthusiastic - expressing the writer's feelings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
