Now you say you're lonely You cry the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Now you say you're sorry For bein' so untrue Well you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you You drove me nearly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said 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 Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Well you told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and Now you say that you love me Well just to prove that you do Come on and cry me a river I wanna see a river 'Cause I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river over you Though that I would lose my mind I cried a river over you Really is a shame, and you're to blame I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I'm crying, I'm cryin', I'm cryin' I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river over you I cried a river over you
