Vonda Shepard - Soothe Me lyrics

maybe i should wander through these streets a little longer hey new york city won't you welcome me back home and darling i love you but i swear that i'll be gone by the time you figure out what you want maybe i should wander through my solitude a little longer turn your head now sailor well i used to be so much stronger how in the hell did i get here in this city so alone oh sometimes life seems so long chorus you can't soothe me with your sweet voice if i can't be your first choice you can't soothe me with your deep eyes if i can't be your first prize you can't soothe me with affection if it's pointed in the wrong direction unless you think i'm perfection unless you think i'm perfection maybe i should wander through these streets a little longer find my ruthless angel that will carry me back home cause we all wanna go home and we search for love our whole lives i found a man who only wants to be alone repeat chorus maybe down the road who knows you'll get it together with all your charm my hope grows it's wonderful but you're flirting only as a friend you touch my heart and promise everything it'll be a mighty cold winter five million people couldn't one of them be you and darling i love you but i swear that i'll be gone by the time you figure out what you want repeat chorus
