I don't think that you're a bore, though I told you so before Maybe you're a bit too shy, but that doesn't answer why I laugh while you are crying, I sell while you are buying I've fooled around but I don't care, I told you " You should beware" chorus: 'Cause I'm ruder than you That's why I act the way I do I guess I'm ruder than you Ruder than anyone you knew You're the beauty, I'm the beast You're disgusted, I am pleased With the way that things turn out You just go on about how things were meant to be Sweet dreams of you and me This is no time for lullabies - I am the devil in disguise (chorus) Now I'm leaving you alone But I couldn't tell you on the phone'Cause I'd really love to see you cry We could go to bed but then bye-bye (chorus)
