[Verse 1]
What a hot and sultry summer
Steam just slides up off them streets
You gotta stay inside and wait for the night
And then come on over and see me
'Cause there’s a poetry about these streets
And it slips from your skin and goes right underneath
And Mama always knew I’d meet a girl like you
But me, I never believed
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I’ve been so lonely
I can’t imagine that kind of sympathy
'Cause I’ve been so lonely
I can’t imagine that kind of sympathy
[Chorus]
Where’d you get them scars?
How blue is your heart?
Is it sad enough to break?
She said, “it’s sad enough to break"
How long was your life?
Was it cold and strange like mine?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said, “I’m man enough, my baby, come see about me”
