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
Because 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?
Because 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!
