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
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
