Now you say you're lonely
You cry 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, 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 plebian,
Told me you were through with me and...

Now you say you loved me
Well, just to prove you do
Go on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you...
