Now you say you're lonely
You've cried the long night through


[Chorus:]
C'mon and cry me a river
Cry me a river

I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry

For being so untrue

[Chorus:]

C'mon and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you


You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head

Though you'd 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

[Chorus:]

C'mon and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you


You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head

Though you'd 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...

[Chorus:]

C'mon and cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
