“Cry Me a River” � As well as being the song title, this quote is featured in lyrics & is effectively used repeatedly in the chorus. The phrase has the following meanings & uses: Literal � Crying so much that tears continuously stream down your face like a river � The tears cried could fill or form a river Sarcastic � The person being told has self pity & feels sorry for themselves but no one really cares or has sympathy for them � They can cry & moan all day long but the person saying it feels that they have been through worse � Justin Timberlake uses this expression in his song towards Britney Spears who cheated on him but still wants him back despite. He knew about it & refuses to take her back. She is now upset & could “cry a river” for him, but Justin doesn’t want to hear about it as he believes he’s been through worse & perhaps he has already cried enough to fill a river when he found out about her cheating on him. It’s her fault that it has happened so he has no sympathy for her feelings anymore.
