The Milk Of Human Kindness Lyrics - Procol Harum

When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had 

Did you think that it might be time to stop? 

When you knew that I was through 

That I'd done all I could do 

Did you really have to milk the final drop? 

Not content with my mistake 

You behaved just like a snake 

And you left me for a wasp without a sting 

Tell all my friends back home 

That I did it on my own 

And that to their well-worn cares they should cling

When you knew that I had given all the kindness that I had 

Did you feel you had to break that lonely vow? 

When you knew that I was through 

That I'd done all I could do 

Did you really have to sow that final plough? 

Not content with my mistake, you behaved just like a snake 

And you left me for a wasp without a sting 

Tell all the folks back home that he did it on his own 

And that to their well-worn cares they should cling
