Sweet Sympathy Lyrics

Janis Ian Sweet Sympathy

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 reelin'.
Honey, lay this feelin' down,
I'm ready to ride.

Wo-ah, sweet sympathy,
Won't you pit me tonight?
Yes, I got to hurry to the surry,
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?

I want to lay myself down,
And take a sweet, soft shelter.
Still my waters 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.

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 tittillation.
Honey, won't you pleasure me right.
Sweet sympathy,
Won't you carry me tonight?

Wo-ah, sweet sympathy,
Won't you pity me tonight?
Yes, I got to hurry to the surry,
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?
