(Arthur Hamilton)

Now, you say you're lonely, you cry the long night through.
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river, I cried a river over you.
Now, you say you're sorry for being so untrue.
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river, I cried a river over you.

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 you say you love me, well, just to prove you do.
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river.
I cried a river over you.

Now you say you love me, well, just to prove you do.
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river.
I cried a river over you, I cried a river over you.
