You don't seem to mind spending my money
We only hang out when you've got time
If this is a joke, it's no longer funny
Who do you think I am?
I'm trying to understand so I gotta ask you

Why did you wanna keep me believing
You are feeling something we'll never be? Oh
I, I hear you laughing while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
So why you gotta, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be cruel?

Well, I thought by now the games would be over
But it's safe to say I've never been so wrong
You could have saved us time if you'd just said never
If they say love's not fair
I know I shouldn't care but I gotta ask you

Why did you wanna keep me believing
You are feeling something we'll never be? Oh
I, I hear you laughing while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
So why you gotta, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be cruel?

I'm looking for something
Someone who can give a little more than nothing
Let's call this what it really is
Baby, I'm don, baby, I'm done asking

Why did you wanna keep me believing
You are feeling something we'll never be? Oh
I, I hear you laughing while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
Why you gotta be cruel?

Why did you wanna keep me believing
You are feeling something we'll never be? Oh
I, I hear you laughing while I'm leaving
It's bad enough I've been the fool
So why you gotta, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be cruel?

Why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be cruel?
Baby, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be so cruel?
Baby, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be so cruel?

Baby, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be so cruel?
Baby, why you gotta be cruel?
Why you gotta be so
Why you gotta be so, so cruel?
