Roches - Sweetie Pie lyrics

rate me

Sweetie pie... sweetie pie<br />

Bet no one ever called you that<br />

Standing there disheveled<br />

In your tattered coat and cowboy hat<br />

Put your arms around me<br />

Say good bye...say good bye<br />

<br />

You are at the bottom<br />

Of the corporate ladder totem pole<br />

You wear your heart upon your sleeve<br />

In it is a bullet hole<br />

Shot through by every sheriff<br />

With a badge in every town<br />

<br />

You stood beneath the street light<br />

With the moon above you and a star<br />

Waiting like a gentleman<br />

While i parked a rented car<br />

<br />

I have been around the block<br />

Chugging hard right off the rail<br />

Discarded like a box of chinese food<br />

Into the garbage pail<br />

Let's look at the college kids go by<br />

College kids go by<br />

<br />

Honey bunch...sugar cube<br />

You took me for an ice cream cone<br />

We had some belly laughs<br />

And i said, well<br />

I guess i'm goin' home<br />

Put your arms around me<br />

Say good bye....say good bye<br />

<br />

Some people gotta roam this earth<br />

Never really fitting in<br />

A stranger to the very<br />

Chair they're sitting in<br />

<br />

Sweetie pie.... sweetie pie<br />

O how i depend on you<br />

Standing there confused<br />

With your shattered dreams<br />

Nothin' to lose<br />

You always say i love you<br />

When you say good bye<br />

When you say good bye, sweetie pie
