Take my leave, a little less Beatles stand you in good stead

Like an old stray hound, you're scratching round for your daily bread

My advice to you is change your views or else, change your mind

You're the kind of chick who thinks it's slick to spring up from behind

It's cruel to fool

Why do you play so cool?

It's cruel to fool

You broke the golden rule

Like a thoroughbred horse, stay the course and collect the prize

But you stifle a yawn cos you were born to have love on your side

You give me a smile but all the while, you make 'em ready to go

But your public demands "You need our hand to carry on with the show"

It's cruel to fool

Why do you play so cool?

It's cruel to fool

You broke the golden rule

It's cruel to fool

Why do you play so cool?

It's cruel to fool

You broke that golden rule

Acting out an impulse, I followed you home last night

But I let you out of my sight, I lost my nerve or fright

Within the city limits, there's a contract for your Denise

So I'm begging, honey, please, sought out the work from the trees

I said sought out the work from the trees

Cruel to fool

Why do you play so cool?

Yeah it's cruel to fool

You broke the golden rule

It's cruel to fool

Why do you play so cool?

Yeah it's cruel to fool with me, baby

Why do you break golden ruling?

You've been messing with my heart

Why do we have to play this game?

Why are you telling me in name?

Baby, it's so cruel to fool
