Hello Cruel World

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
