Lyrics
My nights are lonely my days are sad
Expressing loneliness during the nights and sadness throughout the days.
My baby left me and I'm feeling bad
Conveying the emotional pain resulting from the departure of the speaker's baby.
I almost died and now I wish I had
Reflecting on a near-death experience and expressing a wish for death due to intense suffering.
It's a cruel cruel world
Stating a general perspective on life as being harsh and unforgiving.
I guess I loved her too much to see
Acknowledging a blinded love that prevented the speaker from seeing signs of a potential breakup.
That someone else could take her love from me
Realizing that someone else took the love of the speaker's baby away.
Now all thats left is just a memory
Expressing that only memories remain after the departure of the loved one.
It's a cruel cruel world
Reiterating the harsh nature of the world and the pain it brings.
She was mine and I loved her
Affirming that the departed baby was once the speaker's and expressing love.
Yes I did from the start
Affirming the love for the departed one from the beginning.
How could she let another
Expressing disbelief or sadness that the departed one allowed someone else into her heart.
Take my place in her heart
Feeling replaced in the affection of the departed one.
I might've known there would come a day
Anticipating a day when the departed one would leave, despite possible clues.
When she would love me and be on her way
Reflecting on the departure of the baby and the inevitability of it.
Now that my baby's gone what can I say
Expressing helplessness and speechlessness after the departure of the speaker's baby.
It's a cruel cruel world
Reiterating the cruel nature of the world in the face of loss.
Yeah she was mine and I loved her
Repeating the assertion of love for the departed one.
Yes I did from the start
Reaffirming the enduring love for the departed one since the beginning.
How could she let another
Expressing incredulity or sadness about someone else taking the speaker's place in the departed one's heart.
Take my place in her heart
Feeling replaced in the emotional space once occupied by the speaker.
I might've known there would come a day
Repeating the anticipation of a day when the departed one would leave.
When she'd love me and be on her way
Reiterating the inevitability of the departed one leaving and the speaker being left alone.
Now that my baby's gone what can I say
Expressing the emptiness and inability to find words after the departure of the speaker's baby.
It's a cruel cruel world
Reemphasizing the harsh reality of the world in the absence of the loved one.
It's a cruel cruel world yeah
Repeating the declaration of the world's cruelty.
It's a cruel cruel world
Affirming the cruel nature of the world once again.
Let me tell you, people
Addressing the audience and emphasizing the harshness of the world.
It's a cruel cruel world
Reiterating the theme of the world's cruelty.
