Sweet Misery Blues - Violent Femmes

Yeah, I saw you coming down the street

I could tell by your look that you didn’t wanna meet

So this time

I went away, but next time

I’m just gonna have to say

«Could I buy you a dress or something?

Could I buy you some jewelry or something?

Would you go out with me or something?

Would you sleep with me or something?»

You better watch out

If your train’s moving too fast

You better look out

If you’re living in the past because

That’s why you’ll never lose

These sweet misery blues

That’s why you’ll never lose

These sweet misery blues

Yeah I’m gonna corner you in an elevator

And you won’t be able to put me off till later

I’ll put on my charm, I’ll tingle your spine

I’ll take off my charm and then you’ll wanna die

«Could I buy you a dress or something?

Could I buy you some jewelry or something?

Would you go out with me or somethin?

Would you sleep with me or something?»

You better watch out

Cause you can’t get rid of me

You better look out

Now, babe, don’t you see?

That’s why you’ll never lose

These sweet misery blues

That’s why you’ll never lose

These sweet misery blues
