Cry me a river Well, you can 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

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,

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

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

You may cry me a river I cried I love you A river of tears for you Come on now and cry me a river of tears Now you say you love me But you cry the whole night through You can cry me a river Oh, yes, you're goin' to cry me a river 'Cause I cried a river

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,

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

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

And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry me a river That leads to your ocean You never see me fall apart In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over

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