Kelly Willis - Don't Come The Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim! lyrics

(Kirsty MacColl)

Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts

They make you feel nothing at all

They'll never remember and they'll never mind

If you're counting the cracks in the wall

They're quick and they're greedy

They never feel guilty

They don't know the meaning of hurt

The boots just go back on the socks that stayed on

The next time they see you they treat you like dirt

The next time they treat you like dirt

Chorus

Now don't come the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim

I know lots of those and you're not one of them

There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in and

You won't come the cowboy with me

Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart

It's all I've got left to me now

I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere

And I'm here for the hell of it now

Some girls play cowboys and some boys play harder to get

But they're got just the same

They smile and say "cheese", they're so eager to please

But they'll never remember your name

The names and the places all change

Chorus

Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?

I didn't expect you to know me so well

If I learned a lesson, it's how to bounce back again

Sometimes I bounce off the wall

And sometimes my head hits the floor

Chorus (Twice)
