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 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 


(chorus)
