Ivy - Cruel lyrics

Cruel is the gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me There is no Chicago urban blues More heartfelt than my lament for you You're a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache With a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say While I waste my time in regretting that the days Went from perfect to just OK Lordy, what would I do Don't call me possessive, but God if she's smooching with you And a jealous girl rued The world should be free, but don't you go following suit My heart is aligned, it couldn't be neutral I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend ba ba ba ba ba ba These feelings, my tuppentup friend It's cruel Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba It's cruel Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me Should a love be tender and bleed out loud

Or be tougher than tough and prouder than proud If I'm troubled by every folding of her skirt Am I guilty of every male-inflicted hurt But you don't know how to describe the modern rose When you can't refer to her shape against her clothes With the fever of purple prose Lordy, what would I do Don't call me possessive, but God if she's smooching with you And a jealous girl rued The world should be free, but don't you go following suit My heart is aligned, it couldn't be neutral I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend ba ba ba ba ba ba These feelings, my tuppentup friend It's cruel Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba It's cruel Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba It's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me Cruel is the gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me My contribution to urban blues
