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, near drove me out of my head
While you never shed tears
Remember? I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just prove it true
You can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river, I cried a river over you
