Thin Lizzy - Sweetheart lyrics

If I was to stand in a General Election

Would you tell me about your close inspection

And how I never stood for detection

Or would you take another man?

If I told you I had the solution to starvation

All the nations would be their own salvation

And those that lead us lead us not into temptation

Or they pick another man?

Sweetheart

It's affecting me

Sweetheart

It's so effective

Sweetheart

Do you detect in me

A sacred sweetheart

If I told you about my plan would you believe me?

This is my body, my blood, would you receive me?

Or would you be the first to deceive me

And take another man

If I told you that I'm not the man to worry

Would you believe me when I said I was really sorry?

Or would you rush off in a hurry to take another man?

Sweetheart

Disconnect from me

Sweetheart

You have got no respect for me

Sweetheart

It's affecting me

My sacred sweetheart

And when you're troubled and when you're ill

You know I'll help, I always will

And when you're troubled and really down

You know I'll always be around

And when you're troubled and really broke

There is hope, there's hope, there's hope

Sweetheart

It's affecting me

Sweetheart

You've got no respect for me

Sweetheart

It's so effective

My sacred sweetheart

Sweetheart

Disconnect

Sweetheart

It's so effective

Sweetheart

It's affecting me

My sacred sweetheart

Sweetheart

Sweetheart

Sweetheart
