    The song "Cry Me A River" describes a breakup where the singer's ex-partner is now lonely and sorry but claims to love the singer. The singer says their ex-partner can "cry me a river" because the singer "cried a river" over them when the relationship ended. The ex-partner said love was "too plebian" and that they were "through" with the singer. Now the ex-partner wants to prove their love but the singer says they can cry to make up for the singer's tears during the breakup.

    Now you say you're lonely, you cry the whole night through;
    A7 Am7/F#
    Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river,
    F E7 Am E7
    I cried a river over you.

    You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head;
    Am Dm7 E7
    While you never shed a tear;
    Am E7 Dm E7
    Remember? I remember all that you said --
    Am Am+7
    Told me love was too plebian,
    Am7 Am6 Bb9 E7
    Told me you were through with me, and,
    A9 Am Dm7 G7 C E7
    Now you say you love me; well, just to prove it's true,
    A7 Am7/F#
    You can cry me a river, cry me a river,
    F E7 Am
    I cried a river over you.
