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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
