How Soon Is Now? Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
[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
[Bridge]
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet someone 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
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
[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
[Bridge]
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet someone 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
[Outro]
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
