cry me a river

now you say you're lonely

you cry the whole night through

well

you can cry me a river

cry me a river

i cried a river over you

and now you say you're sorry

for being so untrue

well

you can cry me a river

cry me a river

'cause i cried a river over you

you drove me nearly out of my head

while you never shed a tear

babe

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 that you do

why don't you cry me a river

cry me a river?

'cause i cried a river over you

over you

you say you love me

but you lie

now you say you love me

well

just to prove that you do

come on and cry me a river

oh

cry me a river

i cried a river over you

i cried a river over you

i cried a river

now you can too

cry me a river

cry me a river
