How Cruel Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

Some people want to see my blood gush out 

And others want to watch while I cry 

I heard somebody say once I was way too black 

And someone answers she's not black enough for me 

I bite my tongue and it bites me back 

I bought a house and the neighbours moved 

I had a dog but it was stolen 

Some people say that it's coming 

And I'll get it 

It must be something I have no control of 

They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground 

And I'll slip and fall

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry 

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry 

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry 

I have no hope in hell and I want to get to heaven 

Too many lies or not enough sinnin'

Some people say that it's coming 

And I'll get it 

It must be something I have no control of 

They'll put the skin of the fruit on the ground 

And I'll slip and fall 

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry 

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry 

Oh how cruel to make a girl cry
