Gretchen Peters Hello Cruel World
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
