Buy Me Some Litter Back Fence Choir

Don't let the title mislead you. This one too is about relationships, and one of their ancient irritations: "Why can't you remember what matters to me?"

CRY ME A RIVER

BUY ME SOME LITTER

Now you say you're lonely;
You cry 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
And never shed
     a tear . .

  Home! You're home from shopping!
So glad that job is through . . .
But did you BUY ME SOME LITTER?
  I need some litter--
You know that I depend on you.

Sure, you say you're sorry;
  Well, sorry just won't do!
  You better BUY ME SOME LITTER!
BUY ME SOME LITTER!
I'd buy it now if I were you.

You're always checkin' and re-
checkin' your list--
Least, you insist
you do . . .

[ Etc.]
