[Verse 1]
You were my sun
You were my earth
You didn't know all the ways I loved you, no, no, no
You took a chance
Made other plans
But you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me
There'll never be
And don't it make you sad?
[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
But, girl, I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Them bridges were burned, and now it's your turn to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
[Verse 2]
You know that they say that some things are better left unsaid
But it wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
Don't act like you don't
And all of these things people told me
Keep messing, messing with my head
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it, 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
But, girl, I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Them bridges were burned, and now it's your turn to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
[Outro]
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Go on and just
'Cause I've already cried
Cry me a river
You were my sun
You were my earth
You didn't know all the ways I loved you, no, no, no
You took a chance
Made other plans
But you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me
There'll never be
And don't it make you sad?
[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
But, girl, I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Them bridges were burned, and now it's your turn to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
[Verse 2]
You know that they say that some things are better left unsaid
But it wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
Don't act like you don't
And all of these things people told me
Keep messing, messing with my head
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it, 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
But, girl, I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Them bridges were burned, and now it's your turn to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
[Outro]
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Go on and just
'Cause I've already cried
Cry me a river
