It's hard to wait, you never know how it might unfold Hearts to break and bodies to hold Time will tell, but it never gets old Like I told you, I'm in for the long, long Had to have been one of those things That took place in outer space A match made in heaven, not a scratch on her face Angels must have smoked some dust Singing songs about a God we trust Don't think sly, but this is much Like I told you, there's a time for finding out People try to tell the world not to do You shouldn't make it with a younger girl Too many chances for the foot to drop I tried to tell them that I found a pearl Well, like I told you, being careful what you're asking for This is the cruelest Got a mess of a friend of his This is the cruelest Even you've never had my best She was the cutest thing that I ever did see A drink in her hand, and I don't mean tea She went with the dude, but I just didn't care I had to find out these moments are rare And Stevie says, all is fair Like I told you, there is something for everyone Well, I guess I never told you some things That I really, really wanted to say Did I do everything I could do Or did the mice just need to play? Like I told you, there's more than you need This is the cruelest Got a mess of a friend of his This is the cruelest Even you've never had my best I'm not trying to point fingers at you And I'm not trying to lay any blame But when it comes to the punishment Girl, you know how to bring the pain Like I told you, I'd do it all again This is the cruelest This is the cruelest I got a mess of a better man This is the cruelest Even you've never had my best This is the cruelest Never give in to the woman's wrath This is the cruelest Even you've never had my best
