Cruel World

Original

Say it back.

I need to hear you need your baby back.

I play it cool.

I miss your kisses on the feedback loop.

And now the lights are getting low, mirrorballs and pheromones.

I can be a social hand grenade, tick tick tick tick boom.

And everybody's getting close, taking off each other's clothes. I want the way you are tonight.

It's a cruel world without you, baby.

It's a cruel world.

Sugar, don't you be running away for long, please. Let's catch a movie and get caught in the rain.

Wherever you are is my favorite place.

And it's a cruel world without you, baby.

It's so sad. You're playing shows, I comatose in my bed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll be going out tonight.

I don't know what else to do with myself.

There'll be modern lovers holding tight under ultraviolet light.

Before I kill the bugs tonight, c-c-curl up and die.

Everybody's getting close, taking off each other's clothes. I want the way you are tonight.

And it's a cruel world without you, baby.

It's a cruel world.

Now sugar, don't you be running away for long, please. We're hand in hand if the band starts to play.

Wherever you are is my favorite place.

And it's a cruel world without you, baby. It's a cruel world without you. I'm too lonely.

Need you close to me, close to me, yeah. How am I supposed to breathe without you?

Baby, I need you touching me, touching me.

It's a cruel world without you, baby. Oh, yeah.

It's a cruel world.

Sugar, don't you be running away for long, please.

Take off your shoes and stick around for a change. It could be real cute if this time you stay.

It's a cruel world without you, baby.

It's a cruel world without you. I'm too lonely.

Need you close to me, close to me, yeah.

How am I supposed to breathe without you?

Baby, I need you touching me, touching me.
