John Elton - Spiteful Child-Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics

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
