What you've got, you had to steal
That's the reason
For how you feel
Considerin' what you've done so far
I'm rather amazed
At where you are
Lift your head up, baby,
Pull yourself together
Nothing's worse than dying slow
There's no reason, darlin'
A reason whatsoever
We can't end this game of touch and go
It's such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you're caught up in this roundabout
It's such a cruel world
When your back's against the wall
And there's no way out
You're not givin' it up, but givin' it out
Seems too me
You got a little too much doubt
Augmentation
Is what you need
Your generosity looks a lot like greed
You might call me crazy
If you don't understand it
There's no way for you to know
You say love is hazy
And you don't demand it
But can't we end this game of touch and go
It's such a cruel world
When nothin' goes right
And the plans you made
Start falling 'round you
It's such a cruel world
Well, just throw me the rope, baby and pull me out
You've got that kind of love
It flows like a fountain
But sometimes love can be unkind
My kind of love, you know
It's higher than a mountain
Love can be so hard to find
Lift your head up, baby
Pull yourself together
Nothing's worse than dying slow
There's no reason, darlin'
A reason whatsoever
And we can't end this game of touch and go
It's such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you're caught up in this roundabout
It's such a cruel world
When your back's against the wall
And there's no way out
It's such a cruel world
It's such a cruel world out there baby
It's such a cruel world
It's such a cruel cruel world and there's no way out
Get you right
Wanna get you right
Oh I
See darkness in your future baby
Oh I
In a tunnel black as night
Oh I
See a rich man with his hand out baby
Oh I
Know a seer with no sight
Oh I
Watch and fire burn your bridges baby
Oh I
I feel a wrong turn into right
Oh I
You need understandin' baby
Oh I
