Elvis Costello When I Was Cruel Lyrics

Hope these are correct. Couldn't find them anywhere. Had to listen well and type. Imsite

You talk your way out of this
Did someone flip your switch
Now there is only right or wrong
Can you tell which is which
But it was so much easier
When I was cruel

Why did you leave
Your happy home
Why did you travel
Far abroad
So you could sleep with stangers
You must have heard
Just how absurd
The words poured out of you fraud
I guess you don't know what day it is

So don't predtend your innocent
Do I look like a fool
I guess you have forgotten
When I was cruel

Oh, when I was cruel then
I could make you so unhappy
Lonely coward followed me like wolves
And you liked me too
When I was cruel
Oh, you know you did

And if you should feel anything
A signal from within
Go back to you laboratory
And try to dial it in
And if you should feel anything
A signal from without
aboandon your dream of vengence

So don't predtend your innocent
The truth is hard to judge
Perhaps you have forgotten
When I held a grudge

Oh, when I was cruel then
I would make you very sorry
Lonely coward followed me like wolves
And you liked me too
When I was cruel
Oh, you know you did

When I was cruel
