I am the son

I am the heir

Of a shyness

that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things

the wrong way?

I am human and

I need to be loved

Just like

everybody else does

I am the son

I am the heir

Of a shyness

that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and heir

Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things

the wrong way?

I am human

and I need

to be loved

Just like

everybody else does

There's a club

if you'd like to go

You could meet somebody

who really loves you

So you go and

you stand on your own

And you leave

on your own

And you go home

and you cry

and you want to die

When you say

it's gonna happen now

What exactly

do you mean?

See I've already

waited too long

And all my hope

is gone

You shut your mouth

How can you say

I go about things

the wrong way?

I am human

and I need

to be loved

Just like
