Cry Me A River
Dj Moara feat Julie London Lyrics

The lyrics of "Cry Me A River," performed by Julie London and mixed by Dj Moara, are a classic representation of a scorned lover seeking revenge. The opening lyrics, "Now you say you're lonely, You cry the whole night thorough," sets the stage for a tale of love lost and the pain that resulted from it. The singer turns to a former romantic partner, telling them that they can cry themselves a river as the singer has already "cried a river" over the end of the relationship.

The second verse of the song suggests that the former partner was unfaithful, and the singer is seeking vengeance. "Now you say you're sorry, for bein' so untrue, well you can cry me a river, cry me a river, I cried a river over you" suggests that the singer is enjoying the former partner's sorrow and wants them to suffer the same pain they caused the singer. The chorus is repeated, reminding the former partner that now they too can cry a river as the singer had done before.

The bridge of the song moves the story forward, perhaps suggesting that the former partner had left the singer for someone they thought more refined. The line "Told me love was too plebeian, Told me you were through with me," suggests that the former partner saw themselves as superior to the singer and could not see themselves being with them in the long term. The final verse suggests that the former partner has come back to the singer, and they want to rekindle their relationship. However, the singer tells them to prove their love by crying yet another river before agreeing to take them back.
