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 bein' so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
Cause I cried, I cried, Icried 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 perplexin'
And told me you were through with me

And now you say, 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 of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too perplexin'
And told me you were through with me

And now you say, 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

If my pillow could talk
Imagine what it would have said
Could be a river of tears I cried in bed
So you can cry me a river
Daddy go ahead and cry me a river
Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you
