album _Rock And Roll Heart_
(Lou Reed, 1976)

written by Lou Reed
===========================


        When I was a poor young boy at school
        Girls like you always played me for a fool
        But now a time has come to lay to waste
        The theory people have of getting an acquired taste
        you treated me -

        Oh, so so senselessly cruel
        Oh baby, you were so senselessly cruel

        From the beginnings I suspected the worst
        And you didn't disappoint me
        it was just that you were the first
        But now I wouldn't let you touch me
        if you were within a foot
        And girl, I'm never ever gonna get hurt
        'cause you treated me -

        Oh, so now senselessly cruel
        Oh, now senselessly cruel
        (Oh, senselessly cruel)
        (Oh, senselessly cruel)
