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
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
I cried a river over you
