Sweetie Pie Lyrics - The Roches

sweetie pie... sweetie pie 

bet no one ever called you that 

standing there disheveled 

in your tattered coat and cowboy hat 

put your arms around me 

say good bye...say good bye 

you are at the bottom 

of the corporate ladder totem pole 

you wear your heart upon your sleeve 

in it is a bullet hole 

shot through by every sheriff 

with a badge in every town 

you stood beneath the street light 

with the moon above you and a star 

waiting like a gentleman 

while i parked a rented car 

i have been around the block 

chugging hard right off the rail 

discarded like a box of chinese food 

into the garbage pail 

let's look at the college kids go by 

college kids go by 

honey bunch...sugar cube 

you took me for an ice cream cone 

we had some belly laughs 

and i said, well 

i guess i'm goin' home 

put your arms around me 

say good bye....say good bye 

some people gotta roam this earth 

never really fitting in 

a stranger to the very 

chair they're sitting in 

sweetie pie.... sweetie pie 

o how i depend on you 

standing there confused 

with your shattered dreams 

nothin' to lose 

you always say i love you 

when you say good bye 

when you say good bye, sweetie pie
