Cry Me a River (Live 2000)

[Intro: Barbra Streisand & Charles Valentino]

I had never been to a nightclub

Before I won a talent contest at a little place in the Village

Where I was making fifty dollars a week

And all the London Broil I could eat

And then I got a job around the corner

At a bigger club called the Bon Soir

Which I loved, except they didn't serve 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

[Verse 1: Barbra Streisand]

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

[Verse 2: Barbra Streisand]

Now you say you're sorry

For bein' so untrue

Well, you can cry me a river

Cry me a river

I cried over you

[Bridge: Barbra Streisand]

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

[Verse 3: Barbra Streisand]

And now you say you love me

Oh ho, just to prove that 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

[Outro: Barbra Streisand]

As time would have it—
