CRY ME A RIVER Now you say you're lonely You cried the long night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river Cause I cried, I cried I cried a river over you You drove me, Nea
rly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said Told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me and Now you say you say love me Well, just to prove you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you You drove me Ne
arly drove me out of my head While you never shed a tear Remember? I remember all that you said Told me love was to plebeian Told me you were through with me... And now, now you say you love me Well, just to prove you do... Come on! and cry, cry, cry me a river Cry me a river... Cause I cried a rive
r over you If my pillow could talk Imagine what it would've said T'would be a river of tears I cried in bed So you can cry me a river Daddy, go ahead now and cry that river Cause I cried how I cried A river over you --------------------- "Cry Me a River" is a popular song. It was written by Arthur
Hamilton and was published in 1953. A torchy, jazzy blues tune, "Cry Me a River" was originally written for Ella Fitzgerald to sing in the film Pete Kelly's Blues (1955). But the producer insisted Hamilton remove the word "plebeian" since "audiences wouldn't accept a black woman in the 1920s using
that word." Hamilton tried but eventually refused to make the change, and the song was dropped. Fitzgerald's first released a recording of the song on Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! in 1961. The song's first release and most famous recording was by actress/singer Julie London in 1955. This versio
n featured in the 1956 film The Girl Can't Help It and was released as a single in April 1957 (UK #22). More recently, the song has featured on the soundtracks of the films Passion of Mind (2000) and V for Vendetta (2006). In 1970, British Blues Rocker Joe Cocker made the charts with a rendition in
his classically gravelly voice on the album Mad Dogs and Englishmen. In 1995, British actress Denise Welch's double-A side "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me"/"Cry Me a River" spent three weeks in the UK singles chart, reaching #23. -----------------
