Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
[Verse 2]
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
'Cause I cried, cried, cried a river over you
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead and cry that river
'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you
