Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night
thorough
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 you
do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over
you


I cried a river over you
I cried a river over
you
FADE
 I cried a river over you
