Now you say you're lonely   You cried a long 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 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   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
