Gabi's longing – longing for Klaus
but all Klaus cooly says is “it's over”
Gabi has to cry, her heart's so heavy
but all Klaus cooly says is “I don't want you anymore”
Gabi's lonely, terribly alone
she thinks about Klaus & says “he's so mean”
she wants to forget him, & with that it happens
she runs through the rain & sings this song
life is cruel & terribly mean
life is cruel & Klaus is a SOB
life is cruel & terribly mean
but suddenly Klaus realizes how much he loves Gabi
he goes to her hoping that she'll forgive him
he stands before her red with embarrassment
but all she cooly says is “get lost you idiot”
Klaus is now lonely, terribly alone
he thinks about Gabi & says “she's so mean”
he wants to forget her & with that it happens
he runs through the rain & sings this song
life is cruel & terribly mean
life is cruel & Gabi's a SOB
life is cruel & Gabi's a SOB
