Cruel Charlie

Try, did you try, would you try to be loyal?
Or were ya caught in the mood?
Sly, were you sly, did you slide under cover
And chase the dark side of the moon?
Wait, did you wait, would you wait for my loving?
Or was it too long to bear?
Think, did you think, oh, would you think that betrayal
Would have me fall into despair?
Oh, cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Did you forget me, Charlie?
Was I a figment of imagination? Tell me, Charlie
Cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Don’t twist the story, Charlie
It’s never easy to appease a heart you’ve broken, Charlie
Charlie, Charlie
(Have the devil)
Blue, was it blue, were you blue in the morning
After you woke up alone?
Drip, did it drip, drip, drip from the faucet
When you realized that I was gone?
Send, did you send, would you send me a message
Comprised of dissonant grief?
Hope, did you hope, oh, was there hope that my forgiveness
Would bring you some kind of relief?
Oh no, well, cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Did you forget me, Charlie?
Was I a figment of imagination? Tell me, Charlie
Cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Don’t twist the story, Charlie
It’s never easy to appease a heart you’ve broken, Charlie
Charlie, Charlie
(Have the devil)
Oh, trickery, Charlie, is never gonna help you, Charlie, no
Oh, trickery, Charlie, stop pluckin' on my heart strings, Charlie, yeah
Oh, Charlie, Charlie, why won’t you appease me, Charlie?
Oh, o-o-oh, o-o-oh, o-o-oh, ah
Oh, o-o-o-oh, o-oh, o-oh, o-oh
Cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Did you forget me, Charlie?
Was I a figment of imagination? Tell me, Charlie
Cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Don’t twist the story, Charlie
It’s never easy to appease a heart you’ve broken, Charlie
Cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Did you forget me, Charlie?
Was I a figment of imagination? Tell me, Charlie
Cruel Charlie, cruel Charlie
Don’t twist the story, Charlie
It’s never easy to appease a heart you’ve broken, Charlie
