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

Now you say you're sorry

For bein' 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

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

I cried a river over you
