Cry Me a River
by Arthur Hamilton
Now
you say you’re lonely
You cried the whole 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, cried, cried a river over you.
Yes, you drove me,
nearly drove me,
out of my head
While you never shed a tear
I remember, I remember,
all that you said
You told me love was too
plebeian
Told me you were through
with me and
Now you say
you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river,
cry me a river
cause I cried a river over you.
Now you say,
how much you love me
Well, honey,
just to prove you do
Go on and cry me a river,
just try to cry a little
cause I cried a river over you.
If my pillow talked
just imagine
what it would say
It would say
yes, it would say
my tears fell like rain
while you felt no pain
And now
it’s your turn to cry
that river over me,
foolish me.
Go on and cry that river
cry that river
Cry a deep river
over me.
