how cruel

some people want to see my blood gush out

and others want to watch while i cry

i heard somebody say once i was way too black

and someone answers she's not black enough for me

i bite my tongue and it bites me back

i bought a house and the neighbours moved

i had a dog but it was stolen

some people say that it's coming

and i'll get it

it must be something i have no control of

they'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground

and i'll slip and fall

oh how cruel to make a girl cry

oh how cruel to make a girl cry

oh how cruel to make a girl cry

i have no hope in hell and i want to get to heaven

too many lies or not enough sinnin'

some people say that it's coming

and i'll get it

it must be something i have no control of

they'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground

and i'll slip and fall

oh how cruel to make a girl cry

oh how cruel to make a girl cry

oh how cruel to make a girl cry
