I cried a river over you Well, you can cry 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

And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry 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 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

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,

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

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

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,

In a river of tears I'm going down, and you have watched me drown In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream Under the waves, I've found the strength to say The river of tears has washed me clean Go 'head and wish me well I'll cry cry a wishing well I'll

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,
