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 over youNow you say you're sorry for being so untrue
You may cry a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yes I did child, yes I did my childYou drove me nearly out of my head
You stood by and never shed a tear
But I remember every word that was said
Oh yes, I remember – never fearYou may cry me a river – c'mon now
Cry me a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you (Oh how I cried)You nearly drove me out of my own sweethead
You stood by – you never shed a tear for me.
I remember every crual word – everything that was said
Yes I remember – never you fearYou may cry me a river
I cried a river for you
Yes I cried a river for youTurn back the tide of life, I cried – salty water runnin' down
I cried I love you
I cried I love you
I cried, I criedYou may cry, oh, she may cry now, a river of tears
A river of tears for you
You may cry now, she may cry, oh, she may cry now
You may cry, oh, she may cry now a river of tears
A river of tears for youI cry you can cry me a river
Lord loves a cheerful giver
C'mon and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now – c'mon down and cry me a river…
