That's what I want you to do
Then think of all the lonely nights
That I've sat alone and cried over you
Let me see you shed a few tears
What I've been going through for so many years
I want you to cry, cry me a river
Yes, I want you to cry me a sea
Yes, I know someone gonna hurt you
Just like you've been hurting me
I want you to get on your knees and cry, yeah, yeah
Let your tears fall like rain
That my love for you is not in vain
That's what I want you to do
Then think of all the lonely nights
That I've sat alone and cried over you
I want you to cry, cry me a river
Yes, I want you to cry me a sea
Yes, I know someone gonna hurt you
Just like you've been hurting me
Well, I want you to go on and cry
I want you to get on your knees and cry, yeah, yeah, yeah
