The Lyrics
Why don't you cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, baby
Just to let me up
(Let me up)
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You always call, baby
When you say you will
(Say you will)
But I hate you still
I need you
(I need you)
More than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, please break my heart
"I'll be over at ten" you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
(Bah-dah-dah)
I run to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me up again
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time and I'll get my gun
(Hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home
I'm sitting naked by the phone waiting for you
Ooh-oo-ooh
(Ooh-oo-ooh)
Why don't you cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, baby
Just to let me up
(Let me up)
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You always call, baby
When you say you will
(Say you will)
But I hate you still
I need you
(I need you)
More than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, please break my heart
To you I'm a toy, but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
(Bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home
I'm sitting naked by the phone waiting for you
Ooh-oo-ooh
(Ooh-oo-ooh)
Why don't you cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, baby
Just to let me up
(Let me up)
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You always call, baby
When you say you will
(Say you will)
But I hate you still
I need you
(I need you)
More than anyone, darling
You know that I have from the start
So cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, please break my heart
I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So cry me a river
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, please break my heart
(cry me a river)
Margarinecup, baby
Just to let me up
(Let me up)
And mess me around
And then worst of all

The impetus for me making this parody was that asinine Geico motorcycle insurance commercial.
