Well back then when the heartbreak came
Yeah, it hit me pretty hard
I waved hello and goodbye
To the ghosts on the boulevard
Well oh, oh my baby
You’re so sweet, it makes me cry
Well oh, oh my baby
You’re so sweet, it makes me cry
You’re so sweet
You’re so sweet
You’re so sweet
I wanna cry
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
We’re locked up with the dope fiends
Honey, just try to sympathize
Well, he turned and looked at me with his
Cold, dead, blood-red, drag queen eyes
Oh my baby
You’re so sweet, it makes me cry
Well oh, oh my baby
You’re so sweet, it makes me cry
You’re so sweet
You’re so sweet
You’re so sweet
I wanna cry
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
Your former lover, he’s leaving
Checking out, not coming back
The downtown trains have taken him
Screaming all down the track
There is a terrible taste
On his tongue from the chemicals
He’s gonna spit his blood
All over the dope white walls
You’re so sweet
You’re so sweet
You’re so sweet
I wanna cry
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
La la-la la-la, la la-la la-la
