Cry me a river
Justin TimberlakeYou were my
You were my
But you didn't know
All the ways I loved you, no
So you took a
And made other
But I bet you didn't think that
They would come 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 about it
You told me you loved me
Why did you me all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl I
You must have me
With some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn
To cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
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 like you don't know it)
All of things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
Should've picked
Then you may not have blown it
You don't have to say what you did
(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
(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
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
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
You don't have to say what you did
(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
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(You can go on and just)
Cry me a river
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)
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
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)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Justin wrote this song about Britney Spears. In the song, the relationship goes bad because the girl cheated, and to get even, the boy makes sure that the girl finds out he's moved on with his life. The girl gets upset, and "cries a river" because she screwed up and lost the boy forever.
