| 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)
|
