Private World

(album: New York Dolls - 1973)

Break down
To a private world
To a private world

Well, I just lost a lover
Who done found someone else
I get cool and lonesome feeling sorry for myself

I need a private world
A private world

Oh, you call that drowning in a sea of dreams
How could it last, I'm trying hard not to scream\

Private world
Oh, a private world

Oh, the joint starts shaking, it's ready to crumble
The boys all duking, looking for a rumble

Need a private world
I need a private world

One that is moving
At least I'm moving
(Better shut that door)

Private world
Private girl
Private world
(You should keep it confidential)

Private world
Oh, oh, oh private world

Oh, you know I want some money, she replies
When uptown comes downtown, better take her for a ride

Into the private world
I think it's a private world

Ooh, baby call, call my name
I'm trying to explain that I'm not the same

In a private world
Ooh, a private world

Well, I just lost a lover who done found someone else
'Cause I get cool and lonely feeling sorry for myself

I need a private world
Oh, a private world

One that is moving
At least I'm moving
(Shut that door)

Private world
Private girl
Private girl, you better keep it confidential
You gotta keep it confidential
You gotta keep it confidential
When I says hush
Child, don't you cry
I'm begging you hush
And dry those tears from your eyes
You gotta hush
Don't ya know you gotta hush
Oh, alright
