Lloyd Cole - Sweetness lyrics

oh, you`re a precious little prude?

but tell me the truth now

have you ever had a care in the world

so tell me what`s it all about

you say oh you`re so attacked

well you`ll never be so right

oh you can cry yourself dry

but i`d be surprised if you can munster

up a single crocodile

you`ll never be a 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 from you

do you no longer care or feel that

you no longer 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 really that i don`t cared

no i never cared for you

but i used to read about you

and you oftenly would throw caution to the wind

and don`t you know you

really are the sweetest thing
