How Soon Is Now? Lyrics by Johnny Marr

Adrenalin Baby

0

[Intro]
[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
[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
[Interlude]
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
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
