Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
'Cause I cried, I cried, 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 to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say, you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
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, now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on!
And cry cry cry me a river
Cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you

If my pillow could talk
Imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed
So you can cry me a river
Honey, go ahead and cry that river
'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you
