[Verse 1] The neon sign still says open, so I keep on waiting tables
You're in the corner playing a jukebox jam, you take my hand
Pull me close, smell like whiskey cologne

[Chorus] And it's a cruel love, and it's not enough
Oh it's a cruel love
It's a cruel love and I'm giving up on this cruel love

[Verse 2] And with a spin my dirty apron turns into a little black dress Y
You pull me close, you're giving me hope
You whisper, "I promise it'll never happen again"

[Chorus] But this is a cruel love, and it's not enough
Oh it's a cruel love
It's a cruel love and I'm giving up on this cruel love

[Verse 3] I'm cleaning up your mess, balancing trays on my shoulder
Tips are lousy and my hours are worse
Feet are sore, I am poor, and I want more

[Chorus] Yeah it's a cruel love, and it's not enough
Oh it's a cruel love
It's a cruel love and I'm giving up on this cruel love
