I don't understand what means in english:

cry sb a river
keep on sb's toes...

I guess they may be idioms or sth similar.
I know, my question doesn't fit here, but this is the most visited place in forum.
Can You explain me in simple words, what those phrases mean?

thanks

    To keep you on your toes - to make you stay alert (with a test?)

    Cry me a river - you can cry a lot but you will not get my sympathy.


    How's that?
