Cruelest Thing

[Verse 1: Ben]
Twenty-twenty-something as my brain shrinks down to nothing
Will I ever find a way out?
My lover says complacency is the only thing that's left for me
I think I better figure it out

[Pre-Chorus: Ben & Kamau]
'Cause she's the cruelest thing since Ms. de Vil

You punish me with sense and sound

[Chorus: Ben, Kamau & Christian]
And she's the one I want today (The one I want)
Yeah, she's the one I want (The one I want)
Yeah, she's the one I want (The one I want)
Oh, she's the one I want (The one I want)

[Bridge: Ben]

[Chorus: Ben, Kamau & Christian]
And she's the one I want today (The one I want)
She's the one (The one I want)
She's the one (The one I want)

[Outro: Ben]
She's...
