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, nearly drove me

out of my head

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

you can cry me a river

cry me a river

i cried a river over you
