Sympathy
is what you see in me
Is that all I'm good for?
What's more,
I think you think I'm just your friend
I'll be concise, I think you're nice
Entice me to be something else
Or else I think this friendship has to end
Cause I wanna be your lover baby,
wanna be your lover baby,
wanna be your lover right away
Cause I wanna be your lover right away,
and I'm tired of hearing
what you have to say
Yet I think perhaps you oughta let me know,
if you only wanna cry to me I'll go
Don't be naive, can't you perceive that I believe in you,
it's true, you're always treating me indifferently
So if you cry, I'll say goodbye,
unless you try some sympathy on me,
just for a change, act differently
Cause I wanna be your lover, baby,
wanna be your lover, baby,
wanna be your lover right away
I want to be your lover right away
And I'm tired of hearing
what you have to say
And I think perhaps you ought to let me know
If you only want to cry to me,
I'll go
If it's only sympathy you need from me,
I think you ought to lead your life
more cautiously and let me go.
