The Roches - Sweetie Pie lyrics

rate me

sweetie pie... sweetie pie

bet no one ever called you that

standing there disheveled

in your tattered coat and cowboy hat

put your arms around me

say good bye...say good bye

you are at the bottom

of the corporate ladder totem pole

you wear your heart upon your sleeve

in it is a bullet hole

shot through by every sheriff

with a badge in every town

you stood beneath the street light

with the moon above you and a star

waiting like a gentleman

while i parked a rented car

i have been around the block

chugging hard right off the rail

discarded like a box of chinese food

into the garbage pail

let's look at the college kids go by

college kids go by

honey bunch...sugar cube

you took me for an ice cream cone

we had some belly laughs

and i said, well

i guess i'm goin' home

put your arms around me

say good bye....say good bye

some people gotta roam this earth

never really fitting in

a stranger to the very

chair they're sitting in

sweetie pie.... sweetie pie

o how i depend on you

standing there confused

with your shattered dreams

nothin' to lose

you always say i love you

when you say good bye

when you say good bye, sweetie pie
