Cruel
What youve got, you had to steal
Thats the reason
For how you feel
Considerin what youve done so far
Im rather amazed
At where you are
Lift your head up , baby
Pull yourself together
Nothings worse than dying slow
Theres no reason, darlin,
Reason whatsoever
That we cant end this game of touch and go
Chorus
Its such a cruel world
When you have to think twice,
And youre caught up in this roundabout
Its such a cruel world
When your backs against the wall and theres no way out
Youre not giving it up, but youre giving it out
Seems too me,
You got a little too much doubt
Augmentation,
Is what you need
Your generosity
Looks alot like greed
You might call me crazy
If you dont understand it
Theres no way for you to know
You say love is hazy,
And you dont demand it
But cant we end this game of touch and go
Chorus
Its such a cruel world
When nothin goes right
And the plans you made
Start falling round you
Its such a cruel world
Well, just throw me the rope, baby
And pull me out
Youve got that kind of love,
It flows like a fountain
But sometimes love can be unkind
My kind of love, you know
Its higher than a mountain
But love can be so hard to find
Lift your head up, baby
Pull yourself together
Nothings worse than dying slow
Theres no reason, darlin, reason whatsoever
Thatwe cant end this game of touch and go
Chorus
Its such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And youre caught up in this roundabout
Its such a cruel world
When your backs against the wall and theres no way out
Its such a cruel world
Its such a cruel world out there baby
Its such a cruel world
Its such a cruel cruel world and theres no way out
Get you right
Wanna get you right
Oh I
I see darkness in your future baby
Oh I
In a tunnel black as night
Oh I
See a rich man with his hand out baby
Oh I
Know a seer with no sight
Oh I
Watch fire burn those bridges baby
Oh I
Feel a wrong turn into right
