Cry, cry, cry, cry
That's what I want you to do
Then think about the lonely nights,
I sat alone and cried for you
Cry, cry, cry years
You said you didn't want me to go,
it's hard to say goodbye,
But I won't believe a word you say,
until you hang your head and cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Let your tears fall like rain,
and then I'll know my love for you wasn't in vain
Come on and cry me an ocean,
then I want you to cry me a sea
Somebody's hurt you, just like you hurt me,
cry me a river, cry me a sea
That's what I want you to do
Then think about the lonely nights,
I sat alone and cried for you
Cry, cry, cry years
You said you didn't want me to go,
it's hard to say goodbye,
But I won't believe a word you say,
until you hang your head and cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Let your tears fall like rain,
and then I'll know my love for you wasn't in vain
Come on and cry me an ocean,
then I want you to cry me a sea
Somebody's hurt you, just like you hurt me,
cry me a river, cry me a sea
