Sweet Thing Lyrics - David Bowie

1 It's safe in the city to love in a doorway

2 To wrangle some screams from the dawn

3 And isn't it me, putting pain in a stranger?

4 Like a portrait in flesh, who trails on a leash

5 Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?

6 So I'll break up my room, and yawn and I

7 Run to the center of things

8 Where the knowing one says

9 Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing

10 Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing

11 If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

12 'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing

13 I'm glad that you're older than me

14 Makes me feel important and free

15 Does that make you smile, isn't that me?

16 I'm in your way, and I'll steal every moment

17 If this trade is a curse, then I'll bless you

18 And turn to the crossroads, and hamburgers, and...

19 Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing

20 Boys, boys, it's a sweet thing, sweet thing

21 If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

22 'Cause hope, boys, is a cheap thing, cheap thing
