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