How Soon Is Now - Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs

How Soon Is Now Lyrics

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particularYou shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else doesI am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particularYou shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else doesThere's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you

So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to dieWhen you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is goneYou shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
