Jeff Beck - Cry Me A River Lyrics






Now you say you're lonely
You cried the whole 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 a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never, never shed a tear
I remember, I remember all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me

And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
You gotta cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
You better cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you, I cried a river over you
Baby, I cried a river over you
You can cry

    it is not how fast you play;
    it is how deep you feel with the strings.

  5. D.... B....

    Jeff is the greatest saw the show have the CD and i have the tattoo

  6. B.... C....

    Jeff Beck was and is the best ❤️🎸🧡

    B.... C....

    I agree hes my guitar god

  7. a.... ....

    My God....this is perfection. Every note. Wow.

  8. C.... O....

    Haunting

  9. G.... G....

    I have been listening to this fabulous man.

    G.... G....

    For a long time now.

  10. S.... Z....

    The first time I heard Jeff was in the year 1991/2 when I laid my hands on 'Amused To Death.'

  11. H.... P....

    Take that, Jimmy Page.

  12. L.... T....

    Jeff Beck, this is sooo cool. From Libby

  13. M.... 1....

    Best album cover ever!!

  14. J.... L....

    This song is absolutely beautiful! Love you Jeff

  15. k.... b....

    Thank you so much!!

  16. M.... W....

    I've listened to Jeff for the last 50 years ! he never fails to amaze me he is always reinventing himself. undoubtedly the best on the planet

    M.... W....

    Mark White I echo that. We are all so lucky that we shared this time span together. He has the made the journey that much easier.

    M.... W....

    Ive been listening for 12 years. You guys are great- I can't imagine what it must've been like to watch him progress so much over the years. God bless you!!

    M.... W....

    Interesting how much feeling Jeff can get with his phrasing & tone in an otherwise straightforward reading of a song.

  17. R.... B....

    Sometimes when I listening and not seeing him play, I'm sure he playing the back of the Guitar because I hear some notes that don't exist on the regular strings,,,,,,Fantastic version of a Classic,,,,Tip o' the Hat

    R.... B....

    He plays notes that don't even exist, and you can taste them.

  18. j.... B....

    Julie London la chante dans le film"la blonde et moi"(the girl can't help it)

  19. M.... D....

    i love love love this track!!!

  20. A.... w....

    "Live +" is the latest release from Jeff Beck in 2015. A live album with two new tracks.

  21. 2.... ....

    Too bad such a genius has such a bad taste wrt/ orchestration :-/

    2.... ....

    Hi - I was all set to criticise you for your comment - but after listening to track I have to agree with you - some VERY strange chords from orchestra - almost like O was running two Youtube pages at same time!

    2.... ....

    2latuile. Wow everyone loves this except from u. Get decent taste bitch!

    2.... ....

    The orchestral chords are in the key of the original piece. A blues piece that is delayed and phased@happymanoftheworld

    2.... ....

    OMG, quite the reverse - you're missing something if you don't get off on the orchestrations

  22. n.... ....

    to play something this melodic and soothing and then turn around and rip your face
    off.pretty amazing

  23. J.... H....

    You should hear Arron Nevilles version.....blows most other versions away.........hard to find though.....

  24. F.... J....

    yeah ......but not the way jeff plays it ....smart acc

  25. n.... ....

    like and thanks ^ ^

  26. S.... Z....

    Genius guitar player lucky to have
    seen him a few times. One of the best ever.

    S.... Z....

    Steve Z. I'd say the second best guitar player ever seen after Jimi Hendrix!

    S.... Z....

    @Jake Lamotta You, definitely, cannot compare Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix. And before all, not place Jeff Beck "after" Jimi Hendrix. These are too different forms of art. Jeff Beck can play every piece played by Jimi Hendrix as he is very widely another guitar's virtuoso. Jimi played another kind of music.
    The main character of Jeff Beck's music is an extraordinary modernity, that you can't find in everyone else guitar-player.
    Jimi Hendrix could have such a modernity in his play, but there are about fifty years that he passed away.
    Jeff Beck is uncommon practical in his play of the guitar, so as in others fields of the life. I know it thoroughly, as another guitar-player.
    The first record that I bought in my life was "Wired". And now, fourty-three years after, I feel the same newness in "Loud Hailer", and can hear the one or the other, in the same spirit.

    S.... Z....

    Every guitarist on this earth shows different kinds of art but u still have to compare otherwise ul never know what u like best. Therefor I still place Hendrix as the best ever and Beck shortly behind him. I get what ur saying cos I know Hendrix could do things nobody else could do and took guitaring to its limits and Jeff Beck does basically the complete opposite so it doesnt make sense comparing. So in terms of skill I place Hendrix 1st and Beck 2nd then probably Clapo 3rd.

  27. A.... A....

    Love!!!

  28. C.... M....

    Indeed it's so beautiful .I just could not believe my ears,faboulous,awesome...

  29. S.... R....

    This cut is on the "Amazon MP3 Exclusive" version. You have to buy the entire album on Amazon to get this track, but still, it is available in the US that way.

  30. A.... ....

    This song makes my thoughts and heart feel huge!

  31. C.... ....

    I must have this~♥♥♥

  32. A.... S....

    I think "Emotion and Commotion" MIGHT be the best album Jeff Beck done since "Wired". It's a shame this kind of music isn't really presented to the "masses" as it should be. You don't have to be a 50 (+) rocker-know-it-all or a fusion-jazz-player to enjoy this album.. all you need is a good set of speakers. Easily one of the best albums of 2010 - All genre's included.

  33. C.... M....

    La verdad que este tema, lo único para lo que sirve ,es para dormir ... es re aburrido.Pero bueno ,gustos son gustos.

    C.... M....

    Camila Mariana jaja pobresita lo que es no tener educacion sentimental el tema es una joya

  34. T.... ....

    0 dislikes. That is how it should stay. <3

    T.... ....

    you know as soon as you posted this some dweeb would hit the dislike.

  35. E.... ....

    To bradley1107 ~ thanks for the info, I've just not heard 'em that's all, (nothing memorable at least)? Only used to Julie London or other vocalists ;-j

  36. K.... J....

    Gary Moore's main influence. Along with many others, including me...The theme of this old standard is the first lick every jazz player learns.

  37. n.... ....

    after all the years, the superb Yardbirds keep on giving and giving in all the different ways and styles each ex member does.

  38. r.... m....

    @ELGROOVER Jeff has the finest dexterity of anyone who has ever played!

  39. N.... ....

    beck makes me think of video games on this album. like walking through an old midevil village with dark forces only miles away. they come in the night and torment innocent people. i like fast music but this is just awesome. get fucking blazed and listen to this alllllllllllllllllll day

  40. g.... ....

    what i love about jeff beck is that he can do in a few notes what most can't even do in hundreds

  41. h.... ....

    I never want to be awake and NOT be hearing Jeff Beck play electric guitar...permanent life soundtrack

  42. x.... ....

    Beck in the greatest

  43. 4.... ....

    Phenomenal feel.

  44. d.... d....
