Hello Cruel World Songtext
von Gretchen Peters

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
