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 off 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
