Sympathize

It ain't no jive I was burnin' alive Whenever you walked in the room It happened so quickly I was feelin' so sickly Like a lover who lost his muse The sharks in the tank The man in the bank He wants my money to loan I can't understand What the hell is his plan I ain't even got a home Ain't got a home The girl on the street With holes in her feet Looks through eyes of a clown She don't look at me Just feelin' kinda sad So I just walk around I reassess She's down on her luck She's reading a book of lies I don't know when I'll be comin' home, baby But I sure can sympathize Can sympathize Can sympathize Angels spread their wings On all the dirty things You do She drops to the floor Her head's by the door Her bible is by her side Heaven is callin' The new world is fallin' And she ain't got a single person left To confide No one to confide No one to confide Oh, to confide I sympathize Can sympathize
