Gretchen Peters - Hello Cruel World lyrics

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
