Píseň: So Cruel

Interpret:
U2
Album:
Achtung Baby
We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me


We're cut adrift
But still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love


I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted


The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere


Oh...love...
You say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart... 
You're so cruel 


Desparation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie


Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug


Oh...love...
You say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart... 
You're so cruel 


She wears my love like a see-through dress 
Her lips say one thing 
Her movements something else 
Oh love...like a screaming flower
Love...dying every hour...love 


You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher 
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire 


Her heart is racing, you can't keep up 
The night is bleeding like a cut 
Between the horses of love and lust 
We are trampled underfoot 


Oh...love...
You say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart... 
You're so cruel 


Oh...love...
To stay with you I'd be a fool 
Sweetheart...you're so cruel
