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 do [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
