Sweet Defeat Lyrics by Jon Allen

Sweet Defeat

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I was busy going nowhere
Hanging out in no man's land
When you showed me the silver
There in bad luck's ugly hand
You've got the sweetest disposition
And a heart that's open wide
I know that you're the woman
Who's gonna keep me satisfied
[Chorus]
Sweet defeat
I'm lying helpless at your feet
And so it's goodbye to the street
I'm so pleased to meet you, sweet defeat
[Verse 2]
Well, I'd given up believing
That I'd ever end up here
But now I'm happy on that high wire
With your voice ringing in my ears
I wanna call you up on Sunday
When I've nothing much to say
I wanna hold on to you, darling
Throw everything else I got away
[Chorus]
Sweet defeat
I'm lying helpless at your feet
And so it's goodbye to the street
I'm so pleased to meet you, sweet defeat
My sweet defeat
[Bridge]
You're like the morning breeze a-blowing
Right through this weary soul
You give me a feeling
From my head down to my toes
[Chorus]
Sweet defeat
I'm lying helpless at your feet
And so it's goodbye to the street
I'm so pleased to meet you, sweet defeat
Sweet defeat, my sweet defeat
[Outro]
Oh, sweet defeat
Oh, sweet sweet defeat
My sweet defeat
Sweet sweet sweet defeat
Sweet sweet sweet sweet defeat
Sweet sweet sweet sweet defeat
