Gretchen Peters - Hello Cruel World lyrics

rate me

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
