Oh, cruel heart
How could you lead me on
Then tear my whole world right in two
I thought you were my friend
Then you let me down
Oh, cruel heart
You scared him off
You loved too much
And now he's gone
What'd I ever do to you
Cruel heart
All I ever wanted was the best for you
And you showed such good intentions from the start
Now, here we are, the two of us left lonely
'Cause you fell too fast and overplayed your heart
Cruel heart
You lead me on
You tear my whole world right in two
I thought you were my friend
Then you let me down
Oh, cruel heart
You scared him off
You loved too much
And now he's gone
What'd I ever do to you
Cruel heart
I'll bet he didn't know what he was in for
When you came right out of nowhere from the dark
You didn't listen to what he was feelin'
Now all this hurt is bound to leave a mark
Cruel heart
You lead me on
You tear my whole world right in two
I thought you were my friend
Then you let me down
Oh, cruel heart
You scared him off
You loved too much
And now he's gone
What'd I ever do to you
To make me so doggone blue
What'd I ever do to you
Cruel heart
Cruel heart
