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

I'm a girl without a safety net

I'm a cause for some concern

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
