Now you say

you're lonely

you cry 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 bein' so untrue

Well, you can

cry me a river

mmm, cry me a river

'cause I cried

a river over you

You drove me

nearly out of my head

all the 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

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...
