Timberlake’s Unoriginal Controversal Song ‘Cry Me A River’

Contributed anonymously:

I don’t now why it’s never been reported that Justin Timberlake’s song Cry Me a River lyrics and very similar to a 1950’s song by Julie London of the same name. It’ seems to me that he practically copied the song, but changed the lyrics around. Can you say plagiarism! After all this is the song caused a lot the controversy (and stirred him a lot of publicity) and made Timberlake a pop culture celebrity around the World. The real controversy should be the fact that it’s not original at all. He could of at least changed the name. Read on for the lyrics.

Cry Me a River-Julie London

Now you say you’re lonely
You cry the whole night thorough
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you’re sorry
For bein’ 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
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
FADE

I cried a river over you
