Now you say you're lonely

You cried 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, cried, 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

You 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

Cause I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head

While you never shed a tear

Remember, 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

Cause I cried a river over you

If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said

Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed?

So you can cry me a river

Daddy, go ahead and cry that river

Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you

How I cried a river over you
