Now, you say you're lonely
You cried the whole night through.
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river.
I cried a river over you.
And, now, you say you're sorry
For being so untrue.
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river.
I cried a river over you.
You drove me
Nearly out of my head.
While you never shed a tear, babe.
Remember?
I remember all that you said.
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me.
And, now, you say you love me.
Well, just to prove that you do
Why don't you cry me a river
Cry me a river.
'Cause I cried a river over you.
You say you love me, but you lie!
Now, you say you love me.
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on and cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river.
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you.
I cried a river
Now, you can, too.
Cry me a river.
Cry me a river.
