[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

[Chorus]
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone?
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl, I refuse
You must have me confused
With some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn
To cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river

[Verse 2]
Know that they say
That some things are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say what you did
I already know
No chance for you and me
Don't it make you sad about it?

[Chorus]
You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone? (All alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl, I refuse
You must have me confused
With some other guy
(I'm not like him, baby)
The bridges were burned
And now it's your turn
To cry
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby, go on and just)
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say what you did
I already know
No chance for you and me
Don't it make you sad about it?

[Refrain]
Cry me, cry me
Cry me, cry me, ooh
Cry me, cry me
Cry me, cry me, ooh
Cry me, cry me
Cry me, cry me, ooh (Go on and just)
Cry me, cry me
Cry me, cry me, ooh

[Outro]
Cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
Oh, cry me a river
[Instrumental Break]

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river, yeah, yeah, yeah
