Sit back,
Matter of fact,
Teasing, toying, turning, chatting,
Charming, hissing, playing the crowd
Play that song again
Another couple Klonopin,
A nod, a glance, a half-hearted bow

Oh such grace,
Oh such beauty, 
And lipstick and callous and fishnets and malice
Oh darling,
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel

I should,
I wish I could
Maybe if you were, I would
A list of standard issue regrets

One last eighty proof,
Slouching in the corner booth, 
Baby it's as good as it gets

Oh such grace,
Oh such beauty,
So precious, suspicious, and charming and vicious,
Oh darling, 
You're a million ways,
Oh darling, 
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel

Oh darling,
Oh darling, you're a million ways
Oh darling,
Oh darling you're a million ways,
Oh
Oh darling,
Oh darling you're a million ways to be
Oh oh oh oh
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be
Cruel
You're a million ways to be cruel
You're a million ways to be
Oh darling, you're a million ways to be cruel
