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 being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river 'Cause I cried, I cried, 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? You told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and And now you say, you say you love me Well, just to prove you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river 'Cause 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, now you say you love me Well, just to prove you do Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river Cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river over you If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said Could it be a river of tears I cried instead? So you can cry me a river Daddy, go ahead and cry me a river 'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you How I cried a river over you
