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
