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
