Beautifully Cruel

You sold your soul to the devil
In return you'd live off your art
You make love to your guitar
And sing to the stars
But the strings they're tied to your heart

So you take every man
And you give him what you can
But you can't settle down
Cause you gave the devil your hand

There's a bitter love inside
And it's feeding my desire
Beautifully cruel to me

You sold your soul to the devil
When you stopped believing in love
You ventured far to find it
But at last you'd given up

Who needs a man
Who needs a man
When you get what you want
And you have all you can

So you'll never settle down
And you'll stray from this town
Cause you gave the devil your hand

There's a bitter love inside
And it's feeding my desire
Beautifully cruel to me

You sold your soul to the devil
And now you're sitting alone
You and your guitar
Lovers above all
The strings they're tied to your heart

There's a bitter love inside
And it's feeding my desire
Beautifully cruel to me
