How Now My Sweet Songtext

von Jeremy Kay

How now my sweet
Do you stand in the puddles
Of this public disease?
I see you glide through these parties
Working on strangers
With the greatest of ease.
And you wake in the morning
With a head full of cotton
And the telephone rings
It's your conscience that's calling
It knows you've been stalling
'Cause reality -- stings

Tell me what you need
Always playing plastic baby -- tell me
Where's it gonna lead?
Take a look at what you have
Tell me why you're always
Crying -- you ain't got it that bad.

Your body's so tired
But your head is still wired
From the buzz of the bar room chatter
You've been working so hard and
Losing sight of the things,
That really do matter.
Yes, there once was a time when
We were both blind
To the rules of taking and giving
Tell me how many times
Must you get burned
Before you think about
The cost of living?
Anytime, anytime you want
You can come to me
You will find,
There is one thing I can give to you,
That is love
Tell me, how now my sweet
Do you wade through the shallows
While you suffer and bleed?
Yeah, well the sharks are all comin'
And still you keep runnin' out to sea.

Anytime, anytime you want
You can come to me
You will find,
There is one thing I can give to you,
That is love
