blues folk original songwriter singer help advice answer questions love hate lyrics jazz cruel jam

How would you describe a cruel lover?

The other night I was tapping my finger and started singing:

Well, I could never love a woman as cruel as you. ( X 2 )
You’re mean to my mother, and you’re worse with my friends.
I could never love a woman as cruel as you.

Well, you say such awful things to wilt my pride.
You say such awful things to make me feel dead inside.
I could never love a woman as cruel as you. ( X 2 )

Parameters: How would you describe a cruel lover? Give me a line or two. The lyric can be simple—in fact, should be. This recording will be very bluesy/jazzy. I may not even have my guitar.

Expected response time: Sunday night.

Finally got this recorded. Again, no response, but I made up the rest. Time to move on. I really liked the way this turned out; it has so much room to grow. It sounded very different every time I tried recording it. I can imagine a muted trumpet crying in the background or some harmony with a female vocalist, especially on the final verse.

Well, I could never love a woman as cruel as you. ( X 2 )
You’re mean to my mother, and you’re worse with my friends.
I could never love a woman as cruel as you.

Well, you say such awful things to wilt my pride.
You say such awful things to make me feel dead inside.
I could never love a woman as cruel as you. ( X 2 )

You got poison in those veins, and you beg me to drink;
You got ice in that heart, and you want me to freeze.
I could never love a woman as cruel as you. ( X 3 )

     A Woman As Cruel As You

I could never love a woman as cruel you.
Well, you’re mean to my mother,
and you’re worse with my friends,
and I could never love a woman as cruel you.
Well, you say such awful things to wilt my pride,
and you say such awful things ‘til I feel dead inside,
and I could never love a woman as cruel as you.
You got poison in those veins, and you beg me to drink.
You got ice in that heart, and you want me to freeze,
and I could never love a woman as cruel as you.
