Cruel

Cruel is the gospel that's sets us all free

Then takes you away from me

There is no chicago urban blues

More heartfelt than my lament for you

I'm a liberal guy

Too cool for the macho ache

With a secret tooth

For the cherry on the cake

With a pious smile

A smile that changes what I say

While I waste my time

In regretting that the days

Went from perfect to just o k

Lordy what would I do

Don't call me possessive

But god if he's smoochin' with you

I's a jealous boy root

The world should be free

But don't you go following suit

My heart is aligned

It couldn't be neutral

I couldn't be that way inclined

It's hard to defend ba ba ba ba ba ba

These feelings tuppent up friend

It's cruel ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Its cruel ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba

It's cruel it's crueler than cruel

But cruel is the gospel that's sets us all free

Then takes you away from me

Should a love be tender

And bleed out loud

Or be tougher than tough

And prouder than proud

If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt

Am I guilty of every

Male inflicted hurt

But I don't know how

To describe the modern rose

When I can't refer to

Her shape against her clothes

With the fever of purple prose

But cruel is the gospel that's sets us all free

Then takes you away from me

Cruel is the gospel that's sets us all free

Then takes you away from me
