Cry Me a River

I'm on another continent
And I am so content in it
You are my holiday now
And I will celebrate you well
You said, "Hello, how are you?"
"I'm very well, thank you, and you?"
"Oh, life is swell"
Well, it's so well
I'm very, very well

(Hello, hello) Was feeling quite content
(Hello, hello) 'Til like a confident
(Hello, hello) You reared your ugly head
And sniped a smile

And cry me a river that I can swim inside
And keep me around
I really never stay a while
And I'm happier than a funeral
And I wish you would smile
Would fill me with life
Fill me with life

This week's been rough and it's rough ahead
Would be fine if I was in your bed instead

I'm on another continent
And I can't stand one bit of it
And if I pass the time enough
I can crawl back into my bed

(Hello, hello) What are you gonna do?
(Hello, hello) Drop a bomb and see what's new
(Hello, hello) Give me your point of view
And I'll get back to you

Cry me a river that I can swim inside
And keep me around
Keep chasing the sun
You know it never stays a while
And I'm happier than a funeral
And I wish you would smile
Would fill me with life
Fill me with life

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
