Cry Me a River

[Verse 1]

I keep on runnin' baby

I keep on runnin' but I just can't hide

No, I just can't hide...

I keep on hurtin' baby

I keep on hurtin' so deep inside - so deep inside

[Pre-Chorus]

Lord, I need your smile child

Like the one I once knew

Made my grass green & my blue skies blue

Lord, was time when 2 was 1, tell me now girl

Where've all the good times gone?

-(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm yeah...)-

[Chorus]

Lord I say

I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah

Baby, take me away

[Verse 2]

I'm reachin' out my hand... Won't you please

Help me to my feet once again, oh, once again?

Tears fallin' like rain... Lord it's a time

When everybody needs a friend

Now girl where you been, yeah?

[Pre-Chorus]

Lord, I need your smile child

Like the one I once knew

Made my grass green & my blue skies blue

Lord, was time when 2 was 1, tell me now girl

Where've all the good times gone?

-(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm yeah...)-

[Chorus]

Lord I say

I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah

Baby, take me away

...oh take away child

[Solo]

-(Mm-mm, Mm-mm, Mm-mm yeah...)-

[Chorus]

Oh Lord I say

I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Lo', wash my blues away

I'm gonna cry me a river

Wash my blues away, yeah

I'm gonna cry me a river

Girl you is my riverboat, oh yeah

Mm baby, come take me away... ah yeah
