Cry Me a River (Live)
I'd never been to a nightclub before I won a talent contest at a little place in the village
Where I was making 50 dollars a week and all the London broil I could eat
And then I got a job around the corner at a bigger nightclub called Bon Soir
Which I loved, except they didn't sell food, you know
My clothes came from thrift shops and I was very happy
Of course, back then I didn't have all these wonderful musicians
I could only hear them in my head
The Bon Soir just had a piano, a guitar, drums and a bass
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New York City's Bon Soir
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the lone 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
I cried over you
You drove me
Nearly 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 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
I cried a river over you
It's time that we have it
Where I was making 50 dollars a week and all the London broil I could eat
And then I got a job around the corner at a bigger nightclub called Bon Soir
Which I loved, except they didn't sell food, you know
My clothes came from thrift shops and I was very happy
Of course, back then I didn't have all these wonderful musicians
I could only hear them in my head
The Bon Soir just had a piano, a guitar, drums and a bass
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New York City's Bon Soir
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the lone 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
I cried over you
You drove me
Nearly 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 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
I cried a river over you
It's time that we have it
