Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long 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
'cause I cried, cried, cried a river all 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 say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
'casue I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, will you remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
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
'casue I cried a river all over you
If my pillow could talk
Imagine what it would have said
Could be a river of tears I cried in bed
So you can cry me a river,
Daddy go ahead and cry me a river
'cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
how I cried a river over you
