Soothe Me - Vonda Shepard

Maybe I should wander

Through these streets a little longer

Hey New York City

Won’t you welcome me back home?

And darling I love you

But I swear that I’ll be gone

By the time you figure out what you want

Maybe I should wander

Through my solitude a little longer

Turn your head now sailor

Well I used to be so much stronger

How in the hell did I get here?

In this city so alone

Oh sometimes life seems so long

You can’t soothe me with your sweet voice

If I can’t be your first choice

You can’t soothe me with your deep eyes

If I can’t be your first prize

You can’t soothe me with affection

If it’s pointed in the wrong direction

Unless you think I’m perfection

Unless you think I’m perfection

Maybe I should wander

Through these streets a little longer

Find my ruthless angel

That will carry me back home

Cause we all wanna go home

And we search for love our whole lives

I found a man who only wants to be alone

You can’t soothe me with your sweet voice

If I can’t be your first choice

You can’t soothe me with your deep eyes

If I can’t be your first prize

You can’t soothe me with affection

If it’s pointed in the wrong direction

Unless you think I’m perfection

Unless you think I’m perfection

Maybe down the road who knows?

You’ll get it together

With all your charm my hope grows

It’s wonderful

But you’re flirting only as a friend

You touch my heart

And promise everything

It’ll be a mighty cold winter

Five million people

Couldn’t one of them be you?

And darling I love you

But I swear that I’ll be gone

By the time you figure out

What you want

You can’t soothe me with your sweet voice

If I can’t be your first choice

You can’t soothe me with your deep eyes

If I can’t be your first prize

You can’t soothe me with affection

If it’s pointed in the wrong direction

Unless you think I’m perfection

Unless you think I’m perfection
