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, made other plans
But I bet you didn’t think that they would come crashing down, no
You don’t have to say what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there’s just no chance
With you and me
There’ll never be
Don’t it make you sad about it?
Chorus
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
Verse 2
The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving
Why should I stay? When you’re the one who’s deceiving
And I know that you do it to him too
But that doesn’t mean that I can forgive you
You don’t have to say what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there’s just no chance
With you and me
There’ll never be
Don’t it make you sad about it?
Chorus
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er, yea yea

Oh, the damage is done
So I guess I be leaving, oh whoa yeah
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving, oh whoa yeah

Cry me a river (oh)

Cry me a river (oh)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
