Cry me a river Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (go on and just) The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me

Don't let me go Love don't let me go Cold but in fever You've got me dancin' and cryin' Rollin' and flying You got me drownin' in a river Got me drownin' in a river Love don't let me go, Don't let me go,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die I met her accidentally in St. Paul,

Straight to my baby's love Somebody direct Me I done cried a river of tears This you may not believe But I've been crying for five long years Afraid of all my fears Love has got me now In a terrible bet

As I walked down by the riverside One evening in the spring Heard a long gone song From days gone by Blown in on the great North wind Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry Of sorrow and delight You can hear the cars And the shouts from bars

I cried a river over you Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river 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

Until I take my final breath In a year or even less I hope you will give me all your time And do not forget me down the line And I will never ask you if you will stay Or if you will cry when I go away Ice melting into the sea Your river flowing back to

My baby loves me Runnin' 'round town tellin' everybody Now that it's over I just wanna break your heart right back Want you to cry me a river I just want to break your heart right back

And when the owls cry in the night If the river runs dry, baby, how do you feel? Oh baby it's cryin' time Oh baby I got to fly Got to try to find a way Got to try to get away 'Cause you know I gotta get away from you babe

There was a time when a moment like this Wouldn’t ever cross my mind The sun will rise with my name on your lips ‘Cause everything will change tonight Big boys don’t cry They don’t ask why Shout out from the bottom of my lungs A plague on both your houses
