Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

Oh youre a precious little pearl,
But tell me true now, have you ever had a care in the world?
So tell me whats it all about?
You say oh, youre so uptight,
Well youll never be so right.
Oh you can cry yourself dry,
But Id be surprised if you can muster up a single crocodile.
Youll never be the hopeless child,
Throw caution to the wind,
Forgive yourself your sins,
And dont you know, you really are the sweetest thing.
There isnt heart enough in you,
Do you no longer care or feel that you have nothing left to prove?
Oh tell me that it isnt true.
I wanted to tell you,
I that I used to admire you,
Oh you know you dont mean that I never cared,
No I never cared for you,
But I used to read about you and you offered me youth.
Throw caution to the wind,
And dont you know, you really are the sweetest thing.
