Graham Parker, Lucinda Williams - Cruel Lips lyrics

[Graham Parker, Lucinda Williams - Cruel Lips lyrics]

What does it take to shut your cruel
Cruel lips
How could I have mistaken a curse for a kiss?
Of all the things to say to me
Of all things to let slip
Oh, what does it take to shut your cruel
Cruel lips?

How did you finally break my hard
Hard heart? How could you turn on your light
Then leave me in the dark?
How can I recover from the
Blow that made us part?
Oh, how did you finally
Break my heart, heart, heart?

Of all the things I have in
Mind this wasn't one of them
Of all the strings you pulled behind my back
You said
"This wasn't one you'd ever pull again"


How long must I walk down this long
Long road there's nothing at the end of it
And I'm carrying this load
You don't lift a finger now
You just stand there and broach
For how long must I walk down this long
Long road how long, how long?

Of all the things I have in mind
This was not one of them
Of all the strings you pulled behind my back
You said
"This wasn't one you'd ever pull again"

Oh, what does it take to stop your sharp
Sharp tongue you know I'm not invincible and
Those words really stung
They cut me to the marrow and
They cut me to the quick
Oh, how does it take to shut your cruel
Cruel lips?
Oh, how does it take to shut your cruel
Cruel lips?
