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 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 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
