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 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've 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 that 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've 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 that you do
You can 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
