Lyrics of How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths
verse
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
chorus
Oh, 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
verse
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
chorus
Oh, 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
bridge
There'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 die
bridge
When you say it's going to happen now
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
chorus
You 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
Writer(s): Steven Patrick Morrissey, Johnny Marr
