[Verse 1]
What you've got, you had to steal
That's the reason for how you feel, yeah
Considerin' what you've done so far
I'm rather amazed at where you are
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lift your head up, baby, pull yourself together
Nothing's worse than dyin' slow
There's no reason, darlin', reason whatsoever
That we can't end this game of touch and go
[Chorus 1]
It's such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you're caught up in this roundabout
It's such a cruel world
When your back's against the wall
And there's no way out
[Verse 2]
You're not givin' it up, but you're givin' it out
Seems to me, you got a little too much doubt
Augmentation is what you need
Your generosity looks a lot like greed
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You might call me crazy if you don't understand it
There's no way for you to know
You say love is hazy, and you don't demand it
Can't we end this game of touch and go?
[Chorus 2]
It's such a cruel world
When nothing goes right
And the plans you made start fallin' 'round ya
It's such a cruel world
Well, just throw me the rope, babe
And pull me out, yeah
[Bridge]
You've got that kind of love, flows like a fountain
But sometimes love can be unkind
My kind of love, you know, it's higher than a mountain
But love can be so hard to find
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Lift your head up, baby, pull yourself together
Nothing's worse than dyin' slow
There's no reason, darlin', reason whatsoever
That we can't end this game of touch and go
[Chorus]
It's such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you're caught up in this roundabout!
It's such a cruel world
When your back's against the wall
And there's no way out, yeah!
It's such a cruel world
Hey, hey! It's such a cruel world out there, baby
It's such a cruel world
It's such a cruel, cruel world
And there's no way out
Yeah-heah-heah!
[Outro]
Yahoo! Mhm...
[?] love, get you right
I'm gonna get you right
Oh, I see a-darkness in your future, baby
Oh, I - It's 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 that fire burn your bridges, baby!
Oh, I, I feel wrong turn into right
Oh, I - yeah!
Oh, I gimme understandin', baby
Oh, I - yahoo!
