Procol Harum - The Milk Of Human Kindness lyrics

(brooker / reid) When you knew that i had given all the kindness that i had Did you think that it might be time to stop? When you knew that i was through That i'd done all i could do Did you really have to milk the final drop? Not content with my mistake You behaved just like a snake And you left me for a wasp without a sting Tell all my friends back home That i did it on my own And that to their well-worn cares they should cling When you knew that i had given all the kindness that i had Did you feel you had to break that lonely vow? When you knew that i was through That i'd done all i could do Did you really have to sow that final plough? Not content with my mistake, you behaved just like a snake And you left me for a wasp without a sting Tell all the folks back home that he did it on his own And that to their well-worn cares they should cling
