Sweet Sympathy - Janis Ian

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 reeling

Honey, lay this feeling down

I’m ready to ride

(chorus)

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?

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 titillation

Honey, won’t you pleasure me right?

Sweet sympathy won’t you

Carry me tonight?

(chorus)
