Spiteful Child (Elton John)

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin I don't want to worry you none but I got the hurt on the run I just cut out the poison that was in me so long Watching you tear out my heart only gave me the last laugh Watching you tear out your hair is gonna be the best part Oh I've been shaken down by a spiteful child I've slapped a worried frown on that evil smile I've been taken down by a spiteful child I've turned the tables round and it drives you wild Oh you spiteful child You'd better be ready to run, now I've got you under the gun I put my money on vengeance before this race had begun Breaking the spirit in me only added to your conceit Playing you at your own game is going to make it complete Oh I've been shaken down by a spiteful child Turn the tables round and it drives you wild Oh you spiteful child
