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 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 a river over you



You drove me, nearly drove me



Out of my head



While you never shed a tear



Remember?



I remember every word that you said



Told me love was too plebeian



Told me you were through with me



Now you say that you love me



Well, just to prove that you do



Come on and cry me a river



Cry me a river



'Cause I cried a river over you



I cried a river, the Mississippi River



I cried a river over you



It's the ocean, baby



Come on and cry me a river



'Cause I cried a river over you



Come on and cry me a river...
