Violent Femmes - Sweet Misery Blues Lyrics
Yeah, I saw you coming down the street.I could tell by your look that you didnt want to meet.So this time, I went away, but next time,Im just gonna have to say,Can I buy you a dress or something?Could I buy you some drewery or something?Would you go out with me or something?Would you sleep with me or something?Better watch out, if youre train is moving to fast.You better look out, if youre living in the pastBecause thats why youll never lose these sweet misery blues.Thats why youll never lose these sweet misery blues.Yeah, Im gonna corner you in an elevatorAnd then you wont be able to put me off till later.Ill put on my charm and Ill tingle your spine.Ill take off my charm and then youll wanna die.Could I buy you a dress or something?Could I buy you some drewery or something?Would you go out with me or something?Would you sleep with me or something?You better watch out, cause you cant get rid of me.You better look out, now babe dont you see?Thats why youll never lose these sweet misery blues.
