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 [bad word] 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 it's [bad word] You can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
