I could walk through the desert without no rain I could swim through the death and live again I could stand in one place just like a stone But if I didn't have you I wouldn't last long It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in Yesterday she left me, she should have kept me, now I know No one out there should ever feel this way, no Champagne is my only friend [?] Lord, why did it end? No matter how much I try, still can't find a solution It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in Now when she claps her hands and stomps her feet I swear the way that she smiles it makes me bleed Now I'm soaking on the sand, I'm living on the sea When she walks out the door just leaving me be My friends say I'm crazy, I'm getting too lazy But they don't understand They never lived in this house of pain, oh no no I only go out at night, knowing something just ain't right I need someone to just come in and intervene I can walk throught the desert without no rain I can swim through the death and live again I can stand in one place just like a stone But if I didn't have you I wouldn't last long It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in Now when she claps her hands and stomps her feet I swear the way that she smiles it makes me bleed Now I'm soaking on the sand, I'm living on the sea When she walks out the door just leaving me be It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in It's a cruel, cruel world that we're living in
