Chris Wall - Cruel to You

Telephone rings, a hopeful sound
A heart jumps up and starts to pound
And is shaking, making a choice
Knows it's wrong, needs that voice
Friday night, all alone
Reach for the bottle, reach for the phone

You only call me when you're feeling lonely
You only call me when you're feeling blue
I'd never do anything that cruel to you

When something's over, it should end
You don't want me for a lover, I can't bear to be your friend
Won't you let this wounded heart alone
And let the poor thing mend
When something's over it should end

You only call me when you're feeling lonely
You only call me when you're feeling blue
I'd never do anything that cruel to you

~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~

Your memory lives on the dark side of my heart
A place I very rarely like to go
But if I could find the light
And somehow make it right
I might not have to love you anymore

Like a junkie needs his dope and an old drunk needs his wine
Condemned man only hopes to buy a little time
When the promise of the dawn's not enough to get you through
A night so black you start prayin for the blues

You only call me when you're feeling lonely
You only call me when you're feeling blue
I'd never do anything that cruel to you

I'd never do anything that cruel to you
