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
