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

Well you can cry me a river

Cry me a river,

I cried a river over you.

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

Well just to prove that you do

Why don't you cry me a river

Cry me a river

(Cry me a river)

Oh cry

(Cry me a river)

Cry me a river

(Cry me a river)

Oh, I cried a river over you

You say you love me but you lied

Now, you say you love me

Well just to prove that you

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 over you)

I cried a river

Now you can too

Cry me a river

Cry me... a river.
