Cruel is the gospel that sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
There is no Chicago urban blues
More heartfelt than my lament for you
You're a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache
With a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake
With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say
While I waste my time in regretting that the days
Went from perfect to just OK
Lordy, what would I do
Don't call me possessive, but God if she's smooching with you
And a jealous girl rued
The world should be free, but don't you go following suit
My heart is aligned, it couldn't be neutral
I couldn't be that way inclined
It's hard to defend ba ba ba ba ba ba
These feelings, my tuppentup friend
It's cruel
Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba
It's cruel
Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba
It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel
But cruel is the gospel that sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
Should a love be tender and bleed out loud
Or be tougher than tough and prouder than proud
If I'm troubled by every folding of her skirt
Am I guilty of every male-inflicted hurt
But you don't know how to describe the modern rose
When you can't refer to her shape against her clothes
With the fever of purple prose
Lordy, what would I do
Don't call me possessive, but God if she's smooching with you
And a jealous girl rued
The world should be free, but don't you go following suit
My heart is aligned, it couldn't be neutral
I couldn't be that way inclined
It's hard to defend ba ba ba ba ba ba
These feelings, my tuppentup friend
It's cruel
Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba
It's cruel
Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba
It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel
But cruel is the gospel that sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
Cruel is the gospel that sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
