Desperate Guy (Acoustic Version) Lyrics by The Fratellis

Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied (Super Deluxe)

2015

[Verse 1]
Pleased to meet you, baby
I'm your fool
I'm the patron saint of the cruel
There's a dark room in my soul
When I hear your name, baby
I lose control
[Chorus]
Hear me now, hear me now
Hear me now, hear me now
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do
To catch your eye
And you can't
See me now, see me now
See me now, see me now
There's just too many things I'm haunted by
[Verse 2]
I'm no loser
But I can't win
I'm the right man in the wrong skin
If I could be your holy ghost
Then I'd be deaf, dumb, and blind
When you need me most
[Chorus]
Hear me now, hеar me now
Hear me now, hеar me now
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do
To catch your eye
And you can't
See me now, see me now
See me now, see me now
There's just too many things I'm haunted by
[Bridge]
And all my nights are strange
There's a voice inside my head
I would not change
Every now and then I see my friends pass by
I've got nothing more to say
Except a long goodbye
And though I try
It's clear to see that I'm a desperate guy
[Verse 3]
Pleased to meet you, baby
I'm your fool
I'm the patron saint of the cruel
There's a dark room in my soul
When I hear your name, baby
I lose control
[Chorus]
Hear me now, hear me now
Hear me now, hear me now
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do
To catch your eye
And you can't
See me now, see me now
See me now, see me now
There's just too many things I'm haunted by
[Bridge]
And all my nights are strange
There's a voice inside my head
I would not change
Every now and then I see my friends pass by
I've got nothing more to say
Except a long goodbye
And though I try
It's clear to see that I'm a desperate guy
