Sold

lyrics

You’d like to meet someone
Who doesn’t treat you like an endless chore
‘Cause you don’t want a fight
Or any trouble every time you call

You’d like to have a friend
Someone that doesn’t try to take you on
Or try to hold you down
Or try to turn a simple question round

Don’t cry because you sold yourself this time

You’d like to meet someone
Who doesn’t ask for something in return
You’d like to feel secure
And have importance in somebody’s world

Drunken and floundering
You reached out for a helping hand
A grip to lead you home
A substitute to occupy your bed

Don’t cry because you sold yourself this time

So you tried to play the field
But there’s no love to find that’s lasting
Just a one night stand
Which makes you feel obscene
So you close your eyes
And let hot water run
Over your arms,
Legs
A swan-song

You’d like to meet someone
Someone who doesn’t treat you like a bore
You’d like to meet someone
Someone who doesn’t make you feel ignored
You’d like to meet someone
Someone who holds you like you’re something more
You’d like to meet someone
Someone who gives you something at all

Don’t cry because you sold yourself this time
