Please Be Cruel

Judas' friends have got so strong
It's through the way they made you
Carry someone else's wrong
I've seen the way he ties you down
To blind man's bluff in a bridal gown
So you beat him at his games
(so you beat him at his games)
So he had to change the rules
Please be cruel
Every word that's spoken's
Ringing in your ears
This light we look upon
Has gone and passed a thousand years
He says you're mutton dressed as lamb
But he's a vegetarian
So you live to fight another day
(to fight another day)
You get weaker every way
Please be cruel
'cause you're a woman who needs persuading
(needs persuading)
Never needed anybody
(anybody)
To affect this change of life so bad
(so bad)
He needs
Judas' friends have got so strong
It's through the way they made you
Carry someone else's wrong
I've seen the way he ties you down
To blind man's bluff in a bridal gown
So you beat him at his games
(you beat him at his games)
So he had to change the rules
Please be cruel
Oh please be cruel
Oh please be cruel
Don't know if i should
Please be cruel
Please be cruel
Please be cruel
