Lyrics of Cry Me a River by Justin Timberlake

verse

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
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

verse

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 about it

verse

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
Girl I refuse
You must have me confused
With some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn
To cry

chorus

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river

verse

Know that they say
That some things are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)

verse

All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
Should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it

chorus

You don't have to say(Don't have to say),what you did(what you did)
I already know(i already know), I found out from him
Now there's just no chance(no chance), for you and me(you and me)
There'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it

verse

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone
(All alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl I refuse
You must have me confused
With some other guy
(I'm not like them baby)
The bridges were burned
And now it's your turn
(It's your turn)
To cry

chorus

So cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river

bridge

The damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I'll be leaving

chorus

You don't have to say(Don't have to say),what you did(what you did)
I already know(i already know), I found out from him
Now there's just no chance(no chance), for you and me(you and me)
There'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it

hook

Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(You can go on and just)
Cry me a river

chorus

Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
('Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river
(Ain't gonna cry no more)

chorus

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river

verse

Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)

outro

Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Writer(s): Justin R. Timberlake, Timothy Z. Mosley, Scott Spencer Storch
