Sweetheart

(album: Lloyd Cole - 1990)

I got your letter baby the one that said
You've been loving me too long
Maybe we should kick it in the head
Right on

Well I guess you've really got some kind of way with words
Maybe you could be a writer
You could do worse

'Cause when I saw you I just knew
I always would belong to you

Goodbye babe
Pray you'll never see my smiling face
Sweetheart, sweet Jane
Guess you'll find some other Jimmy to take my place

All right

I want my photographs back and my Borsolino key
Keep the Cartier, babe I wouldn't give you the time of day
Born a lady to the last perfumed stationery
Does it make you feel good to make me feel ordinary?

'Cause when I saw you I just knew
I always would belong to you

Goodbye babe
Pray you'll never see my smiling face
Sweetheart, my complete heart's
Trashed and bleeding over sordid details
In my suitcase

Right on
