Dua Lipa – Cruel lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cab radio screaming
Noise and tears
Death on the TV
And then there's you
Messed up, it's crazy
I can't concentrate
I just see your outline...
Mhmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Back where we left off
Watch you take your dress off
I've been by myself remembering you
Your body hurts me
Loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness, you stay so sweet

[Chorus]
Such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
Uh, it's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl
Uh-uh-uh-uh

[Verse 2]
Some prick at the party
All scripts and boasts
A dead eyed actress girl
And then there's you
Venus in Converse
You put a spell on me
And you're lockin' up the bathroom door for us

[Pre-Chorus]
Back where we left off
Watch you take your dress off
I've been by myself remembering you
Your body hurts me
Loopin' 'round like CCTV
In all this bitterness, you stay so sweet

[Chorus]
Such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
Uh, it's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl

[Breakdown]
It's such a cruel world
Hey, hey, hey
It's such a cruel world
Hey, hey, hey

[Bridge]
Sunrise in Hollywood
We ain't slept for days
Perfect disaster
Me and you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
It's such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
Uh, it's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl
It's such a cruel world
Savin' all my love for you, girl
It's such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin' good, girl
Uh-uh-uh-uh

[Outro]
Sunrise in Hollywood
We ain't slept for days
