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 Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry cry I met her accidentally in Saint Paul

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 cry me a river I just want to break your heart right back

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry 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,

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry 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,

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,

I cried a river over you Cry Cry me a river Well, you can cry cry me a river Now you say you're lonely You cried the whole night through Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue You drove me Nearly drove me out off my head

Cry me a river Cry 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

Cry me a river Well, you can cry 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 you were through with me and Well, just to prove you do 'Cause I cried a river over you

He's a dreamer He is down by the riverside Late one night He's tryin' to count the stars In each of the signs All alone by the riverside And time passes by Gathering thoughts of the past And maybe he'll cry

Gonna ride that river to the sea Gonna cry cry that river out of me Wreckless heart Take hold of the wheel You're headed for a fall Is how you'll feel But it's all for love
