She said “cry me a river,” but I’m all out of tears I made the investment, and gave into my fears I’ll cry you a river, if you just lend an ear Cause all the saddest stories need a witness to hear So come one come all, it’s the tale of the year We all need something eerie so we know when to cheer When covered in darkness, and you give into fear You’ll find the saddest stories, make the nighttime so clear She went down to the Devil, he said “Why are you here?” I’ve come to make a deal, if you would just lend an ear He sat up in his throne, then he grinned ear to ear You had me at a deal, so let's talk business my dear She needed a favor, and he needed some fun She told him of her troubles and the things she had done He said I am not the choir, so don’t preach to me Your sins will not be judged so long as you do not run She said “cry me a river,” but I’m all out of tears I made the investment, and gave into my fears I’ll cry you a river, if you just lend an ear Cause all the saddest stories need a witness to hear So come one come all, it’s the tale of the year We all need something eerie so we know when to cheer When covered in darkness, and you give into fear You’ll find the saddest stories, make the nighttime so clear She said "Why would I run, when I’m the one who came here?" I’m in need of assistance now that you’ve lent an ear He said darling don’t fret, you have nothing to fear The ones who’ve done you wrong will all be dead in a year She panicked and screamed, all strung out in despair This isn’t what I wanted, how on earth could you dare He said be careful what you wish for, cause life is not fair When dealing with the Devil, you should always beware She said “cry me a river,” but I’m all out of tears I made the investment, and gave into my fears I’ll cry you a river, if you just lend an ear Cause all the saddest stories need a witness to hear So come one come all, it’s the tale of the year We all need something eerie so we know when to cheer When covered in darkness, and you give into fear You’ll find the saddest stories, make the nighttime so clear
