Patience Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

Early in the morning, just by the break of day 

Well that's when my patience went away 

She took her bags but she left all her clothes 

She took her keys and left me out in the cold 

Wearing a plastic coat 

And the pressures of life through lack of patience 

I get the pressures of her 

Patience is a girl that I hate to love the way I do, but I do 

She wakes me up in the morning through squeaking in my dreams 

She took her bags but she left all her clothes 

She took her keys and left me out in the cold 

All because of patience 

I get the pressures of life through lack of patience 

I get the pressures of her 

She beat me up and left me out in the pouring rain 

Without no keys, without no reason to go back again 

She left me empty-handed, she left me empty-hearted 

Not no money, not nothing but the blues 

All because of patience 

I get the pressures of life through lack of patience 

I get the pressures of her 

She said the one thing that she needs is happiness 

I don't believe that she's happy 'til she sees that I'm in distress 

No, all because of patience 

I get the pressures of life through lack of patience 

I get the pressures of her 

And I swoon
