Cry Me a River lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

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,

’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 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, 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 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, 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,

Daddy, go ahead and cry that river,

’Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you.

How I cried a river over you.
