Sweet Sympathy

Janis Ian

I want to lie by your side
and let 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

Oh, 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

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

Oh, 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
Sweet sympathy, won't you carry me tonight
