Violent Femmes — Sweet Misery Blues

Yeah, I saw you coming down the street I could tell by your look that you didn't wanna meet So this time I went away, but next time I'm just gonna have to say "Could I buy you a dress or something? Could I buy you some jewelry or something? Would you go out with me or something? Would you sleep with me or something?" You better watch out If your train's moving too fast You better look out If you're living in the past because That's why you'll never lose These sweet misery blues That's why you'll never lose These sweet misery blues Yeah I'm gonna corner you in an elevator And you won't be able to put me off till later I'll put on my charm, I'll tingle your spine I'll take off my charm and then you'll wanna die "Could I buy you a dress or something? Could I buy you some jewelry or something? Would you go out with me or somethin? Would you sleep with me or something?" You better watch out Cause you can't get rid of me You better look out Now, babe, don't you see? That's why you'll never lose These sweet misery blues That's why you'll never lose These sweet misery blues
