It seemed so easy at the start
When I left my heart
I put the pedal to the floor
Heading for the western shore
Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
Greedy to get underway
I made that old mistake
Did you marry someone good
From our neighbourhood
Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
I've done some things I never should have done
Now I've come down, don't tell me that I'm out of time
When I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
