Sweetness - Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

Oh, you’re a precious little pearl

But tell me true now, have you ever had a care in the world?

So tell me what’s it all about?

You say «Oh, you’re so uptight»

Well, you’ll never be so right

Oh, you can cry yourself dry

But I’d be surprised if you can muster up a single crocodile

You’ll never be the hopeless child

Throw caution to the wind

Forgive yourself your sins

And don’t you know, you really are the sweetest thing

There isn’t heart enough in you

Do you no longer care or feel that you have nothing left to prove?

Oh, tell me that it isn’t true

I wanted to tell you

That I used to admire you

Oh, you know you don’t mean that I never cared

No, I never cared for you

But I used to read about you and you offered me youth

Throw caution to the wind

And don’t you know, you really are the sweetest thing
