CRY ME A RIVER萨克斯谱
创作背景
在创作歌曲之前，贾斯汀·汀布莱克与女朋友进行了一段不愉快的电话交谈，这让他十分恼火。当贾斯汀·汀布莱克进入工作室看到Timbaland后，他便向后者索要一些歌曲样品，并通过写歌的方式发泄自己内心中的负面情绪。而《Cry Me a River》正是在这样的背景下被创作出来的，歌词灵感来源于贾斯汀·汀布莱克觉得女友背叛自己后的感想。在歌曲的制作过程中，拉里·金担任歌曲弦乐器伴奏的编排、拉奏工作，斯科特·斯托奇和Bill Pettaway分别弹奏击弦古钢琴和吉他。
歌曲歌词
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
Your bridges were burned， and now it's your turn
To cry， cry me a river
Cry me a river-er
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er， yea yea
I know that they say
That somethings 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)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it
(Yea..)
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， uh)
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)
Your bridges were burned， and now it's your turn
(It's your turn)
To cry， cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river-er， yea yea
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
