Patti Austin › Lyrics › Cry Me a River

Why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you cry me a river?

Now you say that you love me
After being so untrue

I want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
All over me
(Cry me a river)
I want you to cry
(Cry me a river)

Oh cry
(Cry me a river)
Yeah, cry
(Cry me a river)
Yeah, I cried a river over you

Now you say that you're sorry
Oh, for being so unkind

Why don't you cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry for me
(Cry me a river)
Oh!
(Cry me a river)
Over me
(Cry me a river)

Want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Right on me, yeah
(Cry me a river)
Oh, I cried a river over you

You drove me nearly drove me out of my head
Never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
You were through with me

(Cry me a river)
Come on love
(Cry me a river)
Want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry me a river
(Cry me a river)

Oh cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry me a river
(Cry me a river)
Oh, I cried a river over you

You drove me nearly drove me out of my head
Ooh, never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
You were through with me

(Cry me a river)
Yes, cry
(Cry me a river)
I want you to cry
(Cry me a river)
Cry me a river
(Cry me a river)

Ah!
(Cry me a river)
Cry me
(Cry me a river)
Oh, I cried a river over you

Yeah, I cried a river
(I cried a river over you)
(I cried a river over you)
Over you
(I cried a river over you)
Over you
(I cried a river over you)

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I, cried a river, over you
One two three four

Cry me a river, cry me a river
Cry me a river, cry me a river
Cry me a river, cry me a river
I, cried a river, over you
