Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake

You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

You don't have to say what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance for you and me,
There'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl I refuse,
You must have me confused
With some other guy
The bridges were burned,
Now it's your turn
To cry

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

Know that they say
That some things are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)

All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
Should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it

You don't have to say what you did,
(Don't have to say what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know)
Now there's just no chance for you and me,
There'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me all alone
(All alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl I refuse,
You must have me confused
With some other guy
(I'm not like them baby)
The bridges were burned,
And now it's your turn
(It's your turn)
To cry,

So cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river

The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving

You don't have to say what you did,
(Don't have to say what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know)
Now there's just no chance for you and me,
There'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it

Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(You can go on and just)
Cry me a river

Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river
(Ain't gonna cry no more)

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

Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)

Okay. Creepy. First of all. If you live in a glass house don’t have a bunch of rocks laying around outside.
So this young kid is daring some rich blonde chick. I guess she leaves for a bit and be he discovers what ? She is cheating on him? Then he creeps through her house and dances with magic zest. Who is the strange lady who walks in on him and has sex? Odd behavior. Then he turns into a creepy voyer. Nothing about this video makes me happy. He is also too young to be dating a girl who lives in a house like that.

He is Justin Timberlake. The girl is Brittney Speers. Or a look alike. I guess Justin didn't take the break-up well at the time. But I bet he is goddamn glad now.

Yes - Timberlake was truly lucky to break with Brittney when he did

I never really gave Timberlake's music a second thought

This song was silly and the video was weird

Then he came out with Sexyback, after getting over the Spears I guess

I thought it was actually a decent song coming from the likes of him

Then a few years later he came out with the 20/20 Experience

There are some really good songs on that album - I was shocked

Here's a case of - never judge an artist/band by one album alone
