now you say you're lonely
you cried 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
cause i cried, cried I, cried a river over you

you drove me
nearly drove me out off 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 you do
come on and cry me a river
cry me a river
cause i cried a river over you

you drove me
nearly drove me out off 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
it would be a river of tears i’ve cried in bed 
so you can cry me a river 

i cried a river over you

i cried a river over you
