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 being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river 'Cause 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, 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
