Cold World Lyrics by Macy Gray

Ruby

2018

[Verse 1]
Who, who are you misfortune?
Are you real enough to help me to see?
I'm caught up in your rapture
With the words that you expect me to believe

[Pre-Chorus]
And who do you think you are?
Nobody that I can recall
Well, I swear that I saw you before
Maybe in a dream, euphoria

[Chorus]
Tell me is that your name?
Or isn't our reflection the same?
Or am I going insane?
I don't think I'm meant to be played

[Hook]
Maybe I do Ooh
Why don't anybody wanna look me in the eye?
What did I do?
And I don't wanna say it but
Misfortune is the look in their eyes

[Verse 2]
Misfortune, no friend of mine
I'm willing to testify
Her intentions are all I've found
Can you hear the judgment now?

[Pre-Chorus]
And who do you think you are?
Somebody that I can recall, Oh
And I know I swear we met before
Maybe in a dream, euphoria

[Chorus]
Tell me is that my name?
I couldn't see that we were the same
They say that I'm going insane
'Cause I'm the only one in this game

[Hook]
I never lose Ooh-hoo
Why don't anybody wanna look me in the eye?
What did I do?
And I don't wanna say it but
Misfortune is the look in my eye Ahh, Ooh-hoo
