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 being 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

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
