Cynical - Hue & Cry

I ask nothing from you

I never believe the truth

That’s my my principle

Just call me cynical

No disappointments at all

No expectations to fall

Love is inimical

When you’re so cynical

I’ve looked at it all before

I’ll look at it all again

Nobody surprises me

'Cause I think the worst of them

Oblivious to the storm

Don’t care if it rains or shines

You think of the good old days

I think of the bad new times

Optimism — had my fill

And every hope I kill

I want to lift my face

But I know I never will

I ask for nothing from you

I never believe the truth

That’s my fine principle

Just call me cynical

No disappointments at all

No expectations to fall

Love is inimical

When you’re so cynical

A hard woman is good to find

No sugar sweet sentiment

Whatever she gives to me

Is only out on rent

Don’t gimme utopia

Just give me the means to thrive

And maybe these acid tears

They will start to dry

Optimism — had my fill

And every hope I kill

I’m losing everything

As I bite that bitter pill

I ask for nothing from you

I never believe the truth

That’s my fine principle

Just call me cynical

No disappointments at all

No expectations to fall

Love is inimical

When you’re so cynical

I ask for nothing from you

I never believe the truth

That’s my fine principle

Just call me cynical

No disappointments at all

No expectations to fall

Love is inimical

When you’re so cynical

So cynical, so cynical, no no

What do I do, I love to hate myself

Well, I ask for nothing from you

I never believe the truth

My fine principle

Just call me cynical

No disappointments at all

No expectations to fall

Love is inimical

When you’re so cynical

I ask for nothing from you

I never believe the truth

My fine principle oh

Just call me cynical

No disappointments at all

No expectations to fall

Love is inimical

When you’re so cynical

So cynical, so cynical no

Said I love to hate myself

So cynical, so cynical

Said I love to hate myself

So cynical, so cynical

I love to hate myself

So cynical, so cynical

Said I love to hate myself

I ask nothing from you

I never believe the truth

Oh just call me cynical
