You like coffee and you like tea
|
Much more than you like me
|
And everybody says watch out yeah
|
For the sour milk-cow blues
|
You like your coffee just a little too sweet
|
Without your sugar life is incomplete
|
And everybody says watch out yeah
|
For the sour milk-cow blues
|
I think about you everyday
|
Something about you is not the same
|
Something about the things you say
|
Sounds like a different woman with a different name
|
Sour milk-cow blues
|
|
You wear a different size and style of shoe
|
I think that someone must be poisoning you
|
To replace you with a living double
|
Get out of my life right now and save them all of the trouble
|
They changed your complexion and your personality
|
Somebody's putting ideas in your head
|
They took the girl of my dreams and left you here instead
|
Sour milk-cow blues
|
|
You take your place in this parade of pleas
|
You dial a number and they offer relief
|
All alone with just your own device
|
They give you something and it isn't advice
|
To break the hearts of a million listeners
|
Start out as lovers and you end up as prisoners
|
Somebody's suffering from the things that you do
|
Somebody's suffering but you're glad it isn't you
|
Put your fingertips up to the screen
|
Repeat after me, wake at the count of three
|
Now I don't know which is worse
|
What they're doing to you or what you're doing to me
|
Sour milk-cow blues
