That wasn't funny
But she laughed so hard, she almost cried
They're countin' months they've been together
Almost forty-nine
He's making fun of how she acted around the holidays
She wears a ring, but they tell?people?that?they're not engaged
They?met in class?for metaphysical philosophy
He tells his friends I like her
'Cause she's so much smarter than me
They're having talks about their futures until 4AM
And I'm happy for them (I'm happy for thеm)


But I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attachеd to the person I'm holdin'
Some day I'll be falling, without caution
But for now I'm only people watchin'


I'm only looking just to live through you vicariously
I've never really been in love, not seriously
I had a dream about a house behind a picket fence
Next one I choose to trust, I hope I use some common sense
But I cut people out like tags on my clothin'
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'

I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Some day I'll be falling, without caution
But for now I'm only people watchin'


Cut people out like tags on my clothin'
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'
I won't be scared to let someone know me
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin'
Cut people out like tags on my clothin'
I end up all alone, but I still keep hopin'
I won't be scared to let someone know me
Life feels so monotone, but I still keep hopin'
I feel love emotion


I wanna feel all that love and emotion
Be that attached to the person I'm holdin'
Some day I'll be falling, without caution
But for now I'm only people watchin'

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 betcha 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
for you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it

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
Your bridges are burned
Now it's your turn to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river girl
Cry me a river
Cry me a river girl (yeah, yeah)

I know that they say that some things
Are better left unsaid
But it wasn't like you only
talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messin' with my head
(Messin' with my head)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it

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
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
Your bridges were burned
Now it's your turn to cry
Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river girl (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river girl

Oh(Oh) The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh(Oh) The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh(Oh) The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh(Oh) The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving

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

Cry me a river (Go on and just)
Cry me a river girl (Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river (You can go on and just)
Cry me a river girl (yeah yeah)
Cry me a river (Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river girl (Go on and just)
Cry me a river (Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river girl

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