Haven't done quite as well as I thought I would,
I'm not dead, but I'm... damaged goods, and it's getting late,
I'm a rusty hinge, a squeeky wheel,
At the... bad end of a shaky deal, cursed by the hand of fate,
And.. a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh, I'm a very lucky girl,
Yeah... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----,
Hel - lo, cruel world! | / / / / |
I'm a ticking clock, a losing bet,
I'm a... girl without a safety net, I'm a cause for some con - cern,
Don't live this long with - out regrets, telephone calls you don't wanna get,
Stones you'd rather leave... unturned,
But... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh,
The grain of sand becomes the pearl,
Yeah... a - ooo-----,ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----,
Hel - lo, cruel world! | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |

Some folks go the easy route,
Numb the pain, and 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.. a - ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh, I'm a very stubborn girl,
Yeah.. a - ooo-----, ooo-----, ooo-----, woh - oh ,
Hel - lo, cruel world! Hel - lo, cruel world!
