Sweet Misery Blues

Yeah, I saw you comin' 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 ya a dress or somethin'?
Could I buy ya some jewelry or somethin'?
Would ya go out with me or somethin'?
Would ya sleep with me or somethin'?"

Ya better watch out
If your train's movin' too fast
Ya 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 'til 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 somethin'?
Could I buy ya some jewelry or somethin'?
Would you go out with me or somethin'?
Would ya sleep with me or somethin'?

You better watch out
'Cause you can't get rid of me
Ya 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
