Lyrics

Now, you say you're lonely
You cried 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 being 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
You 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
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 now, you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Go on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you
Cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you
