KIRSTY MACCOLL - Don’t Come The Cowboy With Me Sonny Jim! lyrics

Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts

Can 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 had stayed on

The next time they see you

They treat you like dirt

The next time they treat you like dirt

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

But 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

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

So 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, oh

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
