Lou Reed
A Sheltered Life
[Verse 1]
Never been to England, never been to France
Never really learned how to dance
I've never taken dope and I've never taken drugs
Ah, I've never danced on a bear-skin rug

[Chorus]
Guess it's true, what all those people they say
I'm gonna have to lose my hometown ways
Guess it's true, guess I've led a sheltered life

[Verse 2]
Never went around with anything
I've had a hometown life, and I haven't ever learned to swing
Not much of a life, I haven't seen much
I've been true to my wife and it's just been too much

[Chorus]
Guess it's true, what all those people they say
I'm gonna have to lose my hometown ways
You know it's true, guess I've led a sheltered life

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Guess it's true, what all those people they say
I'm gonna have to lose my hometown ways
I guess it's true, guess I've led a sheltered life
