Here's your sympathy

How long before you fall
Before you're all alone
Before all hope is gone
How long before the call
You want to tell it all
Cry on my shoulder
Mmm, tell it like it is
How did it come to this
What was it this time
Oh, my poor dear blue baby
You can count on me
Here's your sympathy

You and I
I listen, you cry

Oh, why do you have to be
So goddamn helpless
What am I - Your sole saviour?
Why should I even care
About your problems
You don't care about mine
