Cruel World

Cruel world, cruel world, cruel world
Wasn't it fun when I was the one?
I thought you loved me
You pulled out the rug
You left in a rush
I guess you got cold feet
You can't get hurt
Leaving blindly
So you try to make a run for it
Think I won't see
Go on try and find someone better
All these other girls, they could never
Oh you're oh so innocent, it's a cruel world isn't it?
Cause you thought I'd drop, but I'm not gonna wait
Oh you're oh so limited
Yeah, you're insignificant lately
It's cruel world isn't it, baby?
I could drag you with a look
Get you hooked on me
I could kill you with a smile
Fuck up your week
I'll leave first
You're gonna love me
I could gut you with my words
Make your heart bleed
Go on try and find someone better better
All these other girls, they could never
Oh you're oh so innocent, it's a cruel world isn't it?
Cause you thought I'd drop, but I'm not gonna wait
Oh you're oh so limited
Yeah, you're insignificant lately
It's cruel world isn't it, baby?
Cruel world, cruel world, cruel world
It's a cruel world isn't it, baby?
Cruel world, cruel world, cruel world
It's a cruel world isn't it, baby?
Go on try and find someone better
All these other girls, they could never
Oh you're oh so innocent, it's a cruel world isn't it?
Cause you thought I'd drop, but I'm not gonna wait
Oh you're oh so limited
Yeah, you're insignificant lately
It's cruel world isn't it, baby?
