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 bein' 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 plebeian,
Told me you were through with me.
And now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove that you do.
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river,
I cried a river over you.
