Lyrics
Sweetness And Tenderness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I need to figure this out
And find where my place is
I don't mean to threaten anyone
No need to get so defensive
You say you're with me,
I know you don't care
You say you're with me,
I know you don't care
I guess it's real simple
It's just like when Gary Numan said
You're just a view
A cold and distant
You are just business
You're worthless
(2x)
You say you're with me,
I know you don't care
(2x)
Sweetness
Oh, sweetness
I need some tenderness
Tenderness
You know it's just like Judas say
I've been your right hand man all along
My admiration for you hasn't died
I haven't forgotten how put down we are
(2x)
You say you're with me,
I know you don't care
(2x)
Sweetness
Oh, sweetness
I need some tenderness
Tenderness
Come away with me
Come away with me
Sweetness
Come away with me
We can hide in peace
And we can finally rest
This melody's wrong,
And I do care
This melody's wrong,
Yes I care
