How Soon Is Now? Lyrics

[Refrain]
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]
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
Does
Does
Woo

[Interlude]
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

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
