Sympathy Lyrics - Kenny Knox

If you get down, you've got to pick yourself up 

If you get slow, you've got to quicken your step 

If you get pain, you've got to grit your teeth and take it 

'Cause you won't get any sympathy from me 

If you feel dizzy, you've got to steady yourself 

Don't hang around like a book on a shelf 

If you feel blue, well shout yourself a round 

'Cause you won't get any sympathy from me 

Talk to me, speak to me, and tell me what you like 

But don't tell me all your problems, I don't want to join you in your plight 

Sympathy, don't come easy 

Sympathy, don't come light 

Sympathy, when you want it 

But you won't hear it from me tonight 

When you feel lonely, you can come to me 

When you feel uptight, you can take it out on me 

When you feel like talking, you can talk to me 

'Cause I'm here and I'll make you feel alright 

When you need me, I'm a phone call away 

When you need a friend, I'm here 

When you need some time, to yourself for a while 

Just complain and you won't see me tonight 

Sympathy, don't come easy 

Sympathy, don't come light 

Sympathy, when you want it 

But you won't hear it from me tonight 

I don't mean to sound tough 

I don't mean to sound ungrateful 

I really love to have you around 

It's not the problem, that I have trouble with 

It's the sym-pathetic words in my mouth 

Sympathy, don't come easy 

Sympathy, don't come light 

Sympathy, when you want it 

But you won't hear it from me tonight
