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
