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
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 true
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
