haven’t done as well as I thought I would I’m not dead but I’m damaged goods And it’s gettin’ late I’m a rusty hinge, a squeaky wheel at the bad end of a shaky deal cursed by the hand of fate and ooooooh – I’m a very lucky girl yeah ooooooh – hello cruel world I’m a ticking clock, a losing bet a girl without a safety net I’m a cause for some concern You don’t live this long without regrets Telephone calls you don’t wanna get Stones you’d rather leave unturned but ooooooh – the grain of sand becomes the pearl yeah ooooooh – hello cruel world some folks go the easy route numb the pain or put the lights out either way they got to go me I’m gonna stick around in for a penny in for a pound cause I hate to miss the show and ooooooh – I’m a very stubborn girl yeah ooooooh – hello cruel world hello cruel world
