Janis Ian
Sweet Sympathy
[Verse 1]
I want to lie by your side
And watch the tide run over
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I want to lie by the bed
And send my head out reeling
Honey, lay this feeling down
I'm ready to ride

[Chorus]
Woah, sweet sympathy
Won't you pity me tonight?
Yes, I gotta hurry to the surrey
Get the saddle on tight
Honey, won't you let me?
Honey, just allow me
Honey, won't you pleasure me right?
Sweet sympathy
Won't you carry me tonight?

[Verse 2]
I want to lay myself down
And take a sweet, soft shelter
Still, my water's here forever
I want to lay my body down
I want to lay my body down
Honey, lay me lightly down
I'm ready to ride
[Bridge]
Can we get together?
Can we get together?
Can we get together right now?
Well, you give me the music
And you know how to use it
Drive me out of my shoes
I got the blues tonight
I've got sweet titillation

[Chorus]
Honey, won't you pleasure me right?
Sweet sympathy
Won't you carry me tonight?

[Chorus]
Woah, sweet sympathy
Won't you pity me tonight?
Yes, I gotta hurry to the surrey
Get the saddle on tight
Honey, won't you let me?
Honey, just allow me
Honey, won't you pleasure me right?
Sweet sympathy
Won't you carry me tonight?
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
